Today's Tithi in SantKatrina
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 SantKatrina local time (Africa/Cairo).
Today's Nakshatra in SantKatrina
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 SantKatrina.
Today's Yoga in SantKatrina
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.
Sunrise and Sunset in SantKatrina
On 20 June 2026 the sun rises in SantKatrina at 5:47 AM and sets at 7:44 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.
About Panchang in SantKatrina
A panchang answers a simple question — what does today favour? — through five limbs: tithi, nakshatra, yoga, karana and vara. This is the complete panchang for SantKatrina, South Sinai on 20 June 2026, when the Shukla Paksha Shashthi tithi prevails and the Moon sits in Magha nakshatra. Every auspicious and inauspicious window shown here is calculated from SantKatrina's own sky at 28.56°N, 33.95°E, never recycled from a generic IST panchang.
Why does the city matter so much? Because nearly everything in a panchang is anchored to local sunrise. SantKatrina lies at 28.56°N, 33.95°E and keeps Africa/Cairo time, so its days begin and end at different moments than any Indian city's. On 20 June 2026 the sun rises over SantKatrina at 5:47 AM and sets at 7:44 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 SantKatrina 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 Africa/Cairo time and then carve every sunrise-based window from SantKatrina's own daylight. The full method is on our methodology page.
For families in SantKatrina and across South Sinai, this page turns the panchang into practical decisions for Saturday, 20 June 2026: which hour suits a puja, a griha pravesh, a mundan, a new vehicle or setting out on a trip. Abhijit Muhurat (12:17 PM – 1:13 PM) is the day's most dependable auspicious window, while Rahu Kalam (9:16 AM – 11:01 AM) 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 SantKatrina local time, so no IST arithmetic is needed.
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 from them derives the day's auspicious (muhurat) and inauspicious (Rahu Kalam, Yamaganda) periods. This page computes all of them for SantKatrina, Egypt.
How is Rahu Kalam calculated in SantKatrina?
The daylight between SantKatrina's local sunrise and sunset is divided into eight equal parts, and one fixed part belongs to Rahu depending on the weekday (for example the 8th part on Sunday, the 2nd on Monday). Because SantKatrina's sunrise and day length differ from India's, its Rahu Kalam falls at different clock times than in Indian cities.
What time is Rahu Kalam in SantKatrina on 20 June 2026?
Rahu Kalam in SantKatrina on 20 June 2026 is from 9:16 AM – 11:01 AM South Sinai local time. It is computed from SantKatrina's own sunrise and sunset — not India's — so it differs from Rahu Kalam in Indian cities.
What is the tithi on 20 June 2026 in SantKatrina?
The tithi is Shukla Paksha Shashthi, until 1:19 PM local time. Tithi end times are converted to SantKatrina's timezone (Africa/Cairo).
Why is the panchang for SantKatrina different from India?
All panchang timings depend on local sunrise and sunset. SantKatrina (28.56°, 33.95°) has different sun times than India, so Rahu Kalam, choghadiya and muhurat windows shift — and because of the time difference, even the tithi prevailing on your calendar date can differ from India's. This page is computed specifically for SantKatrina.
What is the shubh muhurat in SantKatrina on 20 June 2026?
Abhijit Muhurat, the most auspicious window of the day, is 12:17 PM – 1:13 PM local time in SantKatrina.
