About Panchang in Dod-Shivara

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-Shivara, Karnataka on 16 June 2026: the day runs under the Shukla Paksha Dvitiya tithi with the Moon in Ardra nakshatra, and all auspicious and inauspicious windows are computed for Dod-Shivara itself, not borrowed from a generic India-time table.

Here is why this page is computed for Dod-Shivara and not merely translated from an Indian almanac: the panchang's machinery turns on local sunrise. At 13.03°N, 77.99°E on Asia/Kolkata time, Dod-Shivara's day starts and ends at its own hours. On 16 June 2026 the sun rises over Dod-Shivara at 5:52 AM and sets at 6:45 PM — figures no Indian city shares — and the inauspicious periods — Rahu Kalam, Yamaganda, Gulika — along with the choghadiya sequence and Abhijit Muhurat are all slices of that local daylight, so each sits at a different clock time than it would in India. A large timezone offset can even move the tithi onto a different calendar date.

How these timings are calculated: planetary longitudes come from the Swiss Ephemeris, the same high-precision library used by professional astrology software, with the Lahiri (Chitrapaksha) ayanamsa — the sidereal reference adopted by India's official Rashtriya Panchang. Tithi changes when the Moon moves 12° ahead of the Sun; nakshatra changes as the Moon crosses each 13°20′ arc of the zodiac. These transition moments are universal, and we convert each one into Asia/Kolkata local time, then derive sunrise-dependent windows from Dod-Shivara's own horizon. The full method is documented on our methodology page.

If you live in Dod-Shivara or elsewhere in Karnataka, use this page the way a family priest would: check the tithi and nakshatra first, then choose your hour. Abhijit Muhurat (11:53 AM – 12:44 PM) is the day's most dependable auspicious window, while Rahu Kalam (3:32 PM – 5:08 PM) is best avoided for new beginnings. The choghadiya tables above divide Tuesday's daylight and night into auspicious and inauspicious spells — every figure already in Dod-Shivara local time, with no conversion from IST required.
