Ecques Panchang

About Panchang in Ecques

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 Ecques, Hauts-de-France. On 15 June 2026 the day unfolds under the Shukla Paksha Pratipada tithi with the Moon in Mrigashira nakshatra. Because the timings are tied to Ecques's own horizon (50.67°N, 2.29°E), they differ from the figures an Indian city would show.

Here is why this page is computed for Ecques and not merely translated from an Indian almanac: the panchang's machinery turns on local sunrise. At 50.67°N, 2.29°E on Europe/Paris time, Ecques's day starts and ends at its own hours. On 15 June 2026 the sun rises over Ecques at 5:37 AM and sets at 10:05 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 Ecques's own horizon. The full method is documented on our methodology page.

If you live in Ecques or elsewhere in Hauts-de-France, use this page the way a family priest would: check the tithi and nakshatra first, then choose your hour. Abhijit Muhurat (1:18 PM – 2:24 PM) is the day's most dependable auspicious window, while Rahu Kalam (7:41 AM – 9:44 AM) is best avoided for new beginnings. The choghadiya tables above divide Monday's daylight and night into auspicious and inauspicious spells — every figure already in Ecques local time, with no conversion from IST required.
