Dholia Panchang · 16 June 2026

About Panchang in Dholia

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 Dholia, Bihar on 16 June 2026 the sheet reads Shukla Paksha Dvitiya tithi with the Moon in Ardra nakshatra. Every window further down is computed for Dholia's location (24.88°N, 87.03°E) rather than copied from a standard Indian-city table.

Why does the city matter so much? Because nearly everything in a panchang is anchored to local sunrise. Dholia lies at 24.88°N, 87.03°E and keeps Asia/Kolkata time, so its days begin and end at different moments than any Indian city's. On 16 June 2026 the sun rises over Dholia at 4:52 AM and sets at 6:33 PM — figures no Indian city shares — and Rahu Kalam, Yamaganda, Gulika, the eight choghadiya periods and Abhijit Muhurat are all fractions of that local daylight. Reading an India-time panchang in Dholia would put every one of those windows at the wrong local hour — and across a timezone gap, even the tithi in force on a given date can change.

A word on accuracy: every figure here is computed, not transcribed. Sun and Moon longitudes come from the Swiss Ephemeris — the precision engine behind professional jyotish software — referenced to the Lahiri (Chitrapaksha) ayanamsa that India's Rashtriya Panchang adopts. The Moon gaining 12° on the Sun marks each new tithi; crossing the next 13°20′ arc marks each new nakshatra. We convert those universal moments to Asia/Kolkata time and then carve every sunrise-based window from Dholia's own daylight. The full method is on our methodology page.

For families in Dholia and across Bihar, this page turns the panchang into practical decisions for Tuesday, 16 June 2026: which hour suits a puja, a griha pravesh, a mundan, a new vehicle or setting out on a trip. Abhijit Muhurat (11:15 AM – 12:10 PM) is the day's most dependable auspicious window, while Rahu Kalam (3:07 PM – 4:50 PM) is best avoided for new beginnings. When a ceremony needs a longer stretch, pick a favourable choghadiya from the tables above — every entry is in Dholia local time, so no IST arithmetic is needed.
