About Panchang in Elashpur

A panchang is the traditional Hindu almanac that maps each day through five limbs — tithi (lunar day), nakshatra (the constellation the Moon occupies), yoga, karana and vara (weekday). This page carries the complete panchang for Elashpur, Jharkhand for 18 June 2026: today the Shukla Paksha Chaturthi tithi prevails with the Moon in Pushya nakshatra, and every muhurat and kaal window below is worked out for Elashpur's own sky rather than copied from an Indian city's almanac.

Here is why this page is computed for Elashpur and not merely translated from an Indian almanac: the panchang's machinery turns on local sunrise. At 24.48°N, 87.77°E on Asia/Kolkata time, Elashpur's day starts and ends at its own hours. On 18 June 2026 the sun rises over Elashpur at 4:50 AM and sets at 6:29 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 Elashpur's own horizon. The full method is documented on our methodology page.

If you live in Elashpur or elsewhere in Jharkhand, use this page the way a family priest would: check the tithi and nakshatra first, then choose your hour. Abhijit Muhurat (11:12 AM – 12:07 PM) is the day's most dependable auspicious window, while Rahu Kalam (1:22 PM – 3:04 PM) is best avoided for new beginnings. The choghadiya tables above divide Thursday's daylight and night into auspicious and inauspicious spells — every figure already in Elashpur local time, with no conversion from IST required.
