Frequently Asked Questions
What is a panchang?
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 Dora every day.
What is the tithi today in Dora?
Today (16 June 2026) the tithi in Dora is Shukla Paksha Dvitiya, until 12:55 AM IST.
What time is Rahu Kaal in Dora today?
Rahu Kaal in Dora today is 3:41 PM – 5:26 PM IST. It is one-eighth of the local daylight between Dora's own sunrise and sunset, so it differs slightly from city to city even within India.
What is the shubh muhurat in Dora today?
Abhijit Muhurat, the most dependable auspicious window of the day, is 11:43 AM – 12:39 PM IST in Dora today. For longer ceremonies, also check the auspicious choghadiya periods listed on this page.
Why is the panchang slightly different for each city?
Sunrise-based periods — Rahu Kaal, Yamaganda, Gulika, choghadiya, Abhijit Muhurat — are fractions of the local day length, and sunrise in Dora (29.42°N, 79.92°E) differs from other cities. That is why this page is computed for Dora's own coordinates.
About Panchang in Dora
Every traditional Hindu day is read through five limbs — tithi, nakshatra, yoga, karana and the weekday (vara) — which together make up the panchang, literally "five limbs". This page sets out all five for Dora, Uttarakhand on 16 June 2026: the Shukla Paksha Dvitiya tithi is in force with the Moon travelling through Ardra nakshatra. Crucially, every muhurat and kaal below is derived from Dora's own sunrise at 29.42°N, 79.92°E, not lifted from an India-time almanac.
Here is why this page is computed for Dora and not merely translated from an Indian almanac: the panchang's machinery turns on local sunrise. At 29.42°N, 79.92°E on Asia/Kolkata time, Dora's day starts and ends at its own hours. On 16 June 2026 the sun rises over Dora at 5:10 AM and sets at 7:11 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 Dora's own horizon. The full method is documented on our methodology page.
If you live in Dora or elsewhere in Uttarakhand, use this page the way a family priest would: check the tithi and nakshatra first, then choose your hour. Abhijit Muhurat (11:43 AM – 12:39 PM) is the day's most dependable auspicious window, while Rahu Kalam (3:41 PM – 5:26 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 Dora local time, with no conversion from IST required.
Today's Tithi in Dora
The tithi on 16 June 2026 is Shukla Paksha Dvitiya. 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 Dora local time (Asia/Kolkata).
Today's Nakshatra in Dora
The Moon is in Ardra 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 Dora.
Today's Yoga in Dora
Today's yoga is Vriddhi. 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.
Sunrise and Sunset in Dora
On 16 June 2026 the sun rises in Dora at 5:10 AM and sets at 7:11 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.
