Dod-maskallu Panchang · 17 June 2026

About Panchang in Dod-maskallu

The panchang — Sanskrit for "five limbs" — is the Hindu calendar that describes a day by its tithi (lunar day), nakshatra (lunar mansion), yoga, karana and vara (weekday). What you see here is the full panchang for Dod-maskallu, Karnataka on 17 June 2026: the day runs under the Shukla Paksha Tritiya tithi with the Moon in Punarvasu nakshatra, and all auspicious and inauspicious windows are computed for Dod-maskallu itself, not borrowed from a generic India-time table.

Why does the city matter so much? Because nearly everything in a panchang is anchored to local sunrise. Dod-maskallu lies at 12.92°N, 77.32°E and keeps Asia/Kolkata time, so its days begin and end at different moments than any Indian city's. On 17 June 2026 the sun rises over Dod-maskallu at 5:55 AM and sets at 6:48 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 Dod-maskallu 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 Dod-maskallu's own daylight. The full method is on our methodology page.

For families in Dod-maskallu and across Karnataka, this page turns the panchang into practical decisions for Wednesday, 17 June 2026: which hour suits a puja, a griha pravesh, a mundan, a new vehicle or setting out on a trip. Abhijit Muhurat (11:56 AM – 12:47 PM) is the day's most dependable auspicious window, while Rahu Kalam (12:21 PM – 1:58 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 Dod-maskallu local time, so no IST arithmetic is needed.
