Echirolles Panchang

About Panchang in Echirolles

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 Echirolles, Rhône-Alpes. On 14 June 2026 the day unfolds under the Krishna Paksha Chaturdashi tithi with the Moon in Rohini nakshatra. Because the timings are tied to Echirolles's own horizon (45.15°N, 5.71°E), they differ from the figures an Indian city would show.

Here is why this page is computed for Echirolles and not merely translated from an Indian almanac: the panchang's machinery turns on local sunrise. At 45.15°N, 5.71°E on Europe/Paris time, Echirolles's day starts and ends at its own hours. On 14 June 2026 the sun rises over Echirolles at 5:49 AM and sets at 9:25 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 Europe/Paris local time, then derive sunrise-dependent windows from Echirolles's own horizon. The full method is documented on our methodology page.

If you live in Echirolles or elsewhere in Rhône-Alpes, use this page the way a family priest would: check the tithi and nakshatra first, then choose your hour. Abhijit Muhurat (1:06 PM – 2:08 PM) is the day's most dependable auspicious window, while Rahu Kalam (7:28 PM – 9:25 PM) is best avoided for new beginnings. The choghadiya tables above divide Sunday's daylight and night into auspicious and inauspicious spells — every figure already in Echirolles local time, with no conversion from IST required.
