Today's Tithi in Shanto
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 Shanto local time (Africa/Addis Ababa).
Today's Nakshatra in Shanto
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 Shanto.
Today's Yoga in Shanto
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 Shanto
On 16 June 2026 the sun rises in Shanto at 6:13 AM and sets at 6:45 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 Shanto
The five limbs of the panchang — tithi, nakshatra, yoga, karana and vara — have guided Hindu timekeeping for millennia, and this page works all five out specifically for Shanto, South Ethiopia Regional State. On 16 June 2026 the day unfolds under the Shukla Paksha Dvitiya tithi with the Moon in Ardra nakshatra. Because the timings are tied to Shanto's own horizon (7.02°N, 37.86°E), they differ from the figures an Indian city would show.
City-specific calculation is not a nicety; it changes the answers. Shanto sits at 7.02°N, 37.86°E in the Africa/Addis Ababa timezone, so its sunrise, sunset and day length differ from Delhi's or Mumbai's. On 16 June 2026 the sun rises over Shanto at 6:13 AM and sets at 6:45 PM — figures no Indian city shares — and since Rahu Kalam, Yamaganda, Gulika, choghadiya and Abhijit Muhurat are all carved out of the local interval between sunrise and sunset, each of those windows lands at a different clock time here than in India. Even the prevailing tithi on your calendar date can differ, because tithi boundaries fall at fixed moments worldwide that convert to different local dates across timezones.
The numbers on this page are drik-siddha — derived from observed planetary positions rather than older mean-motion tables. We compute Sun and Moon longitudes with the Swiss Ephemeris and apply the Lahiri (Chitrapaksha) ayanamsa used by the Indian government's Rashtriya Panchang. A tithi ends when the Moon gains a further 12° on the Sun, a nakshatra when the Moon crosses into the next 13°20′ segment; those instants are then expressed in Africa/Addis Ababa time, and all sunrise-based periods are cut from Shanto's actual daylight. Our methodology page explains every step.

Whether it is a puja, griha pravesh, naming ceremony, vehicle purchase or the start of a journey, the day's structure is laid out for you. Abhijit Muhurat (12:04 PM – 12:54 PM) is the day's most dependable auspicious window, while Rahu Kalam (3:37 PM – 5:11 PM) is best avoided for new beginnings. The choghadiya tables above break Tuesday into favourable and unfavourable spells — all already in Shanto local time.
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 Shanto, Ethiopia.
How is Rahu Kalam calculated in Shanto?
The daylight between Shanto'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 Shanto'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 Shanto on 16 June 2026?
Rahu Kalam in Shanto on 16 June 2026 is from 3:37 PM – 5:11 PM South Ethiopia Regional State local time. It is computed from Shanto's own sunrise and sunset — not India's — so it differs from Rahu Kalam in Indian cities.
What is the tithi on 16 June 2026 in Shanto?
The tithi is Shukla Paksha Dvitiya, until 10:25 PM local time. Tithi end times are converted to Shanto's timezone (Africa/Addis Ababa).
Why is the panchang for Shanto different from India?
All panchang timings depend on local sunrise and sunset. Shanto (7.02°, 37.86°) 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 Shanto.
What is the shubh muhurat in Shanto on 16 June 2026?
Abhijit Muhurat, the most auspicious window of the day, is 12:04 PM – 12:54 PM local time in Shanto.
