A panchang is the Hindu almanac that describes each day through five limbs — tithi (lunar day), nakshatra (the Moon's constellation), yoga, karana and vara (weekday) — and derives from them the day's auspicious and inauspicious periods. This page computes all of them for Dhawadangal every day.
Today (20 June 2026) the tithi in Dhawadangal is Shukla Paksha Shashthi, until 3:49 PM IST.
Rahu Kaal in Dhawadangal today is 8:16 AM – 9:59 AM IST. It is one-eighth of the local daylight between Dhawadangal's own sunrise and sunset, so it differs slightly from city to city even within India.
Abhijit Muhurat, the most dependable auspicious window of the day, is 11:14 AM – 12:08 PM IST in Dhawadangal today. For longer ceremonies, also check the auspicious choghadiya periods listed on this page.
Sunrise-based periods — Rahu Kaal, Yamaganda, Gulika, choghadiya, Abhijit Muhurat — are fractions of the local day length, and sunrise in Dhawadangal (24.54°N, 87.53°E) differs from other cities. That is why this page is computed for Dhawadangal's own coordinates.
Think of the panchang as the Hindu day's instruction sheet: five limbs — tithi (lunar day), nakshatra (the Moon's mansion), yoga, karana and vara — that tell you what each day favours. For Dhawadangal, Jharkhand on 20 June 2026 the sheet reads Shukla Paksha Shashthi tithi with the Moon in Magha nakshatra. Every window further down is computed for Dhawadangal's location (24.54°N, 87.53°E) rather than copied from a standard Indian-city table.
Location is not a detail in panchang work — it is the foundation. Dhawadangal, at 24.54°N, 87.53°E in the Asia/Kolkata zone, experiences a day that opens and closes on its own schedule rather than India's. On 20 June 2026 the sun rises over Dhawadangal at 4:51 AM and sets at 6:31 PM — figures no Indian city shares — and because Rahu Kalam, Yamaganda, Gulika, the choghadiya periods and Abhijit Muhurat are simply divisions of that local span of daylight, they fall at different clock times here. Even the prevailing tithi can shift across a timezone, since tithi boundaries are fixed worldwide moments that map to different local dates.
Accuracy here rests on observed astronomy. We take Sun and Moon longitudes from the Swiss Ephemeris and apply the Lahiri (Chitrapaksha) ayanamsa — the reference India's Rashtriya Panchang uses — so the results are drik-siddha rather than table-derived. A tithi turns over when the Moon advances another 12° past the Sun, a nakshatra when it steps into the next 13°20′ sector; we express those moments in Asia/Kolkata time and slice every sunrise-dependent period from Dhawadangal's own daylight. Each step is set out on our methodology page.
Treat this as your scheduling companion in Dhawadangal: before fixing a puja, griha pravesh, mundan, vehicle purchase or journey on Saturday, 20 June 2026, read the tithi and nakshatra, then pick the hour. Abhijit Muhurat (11:14 AM – 12:08 PM) is the day's most dependable auspicious window, while Rahu Kalam (8:16 AM – 9:59 AM) is best avoided for new beginnings. The choghadiya tables above split the day and night of Saturday into auspicious and inauspicious spells — every figure already converted to Dhawadangal local time, so what you read is what your clock shows.
The tithi on 20 June 2026 is Shukla Paksha Shashthi. A tithi is one lunar day — the time the Moon takes to move 12° further from the Sun — and it governs which observances, fasts and ceremonies suit the day. End times on this page are converted to Dhawadangal local time (Asia/Kolkata).
The Moon is in Magha nakshatra. The zodiac is divided into 27 nakshatras of 13°20′ each; the one the Moon occupies colours the day's character and matters for naming ceremonies, travel decisions and muhurat selection in Dhawadangal.
Today's yoga is Vajra. Yoga is computed from the combined longitudes of the Sun and Moon and cycles through 27 names; some yogas are read as favourable for new undertakings while others counsel routine work.
On 20 June 2026 the sun rises in Dhawadangal at 4:51 AM and sets at 6:31 PM. Sunrise is the hinge of the whole panchang: the Hindu day begins at local sunrise, and Rahu Kalam, Yamaganda, Gulika and the choghadiya sequence are all equal divisions of the daylight between these two moments.
