Today's Tithi in Merleac
The tithi on 18 June 2026 is Shukla Paksha Chaturthi. 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 Merleac local time (Europe/Paris).
Today's Nakshatra in Merleac
The Moon is in Pushya 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 Merleac.
Today's Yoga in Merleac
Today's yoga is Vyaghata. 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 Merleac
On 18 June 2026 the sun rises in Merleac at 6:10 AM and sets at 10:15 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 Merleac
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 Merleac, Brittany on 18 June 2026, when the Shukla Paksha Chaturthi tithi prevails and the Moon sits in Pushya nakshatra. Every auspicious and inauspicious window shown here is calculated from Merleac's own sky at 48.28°N, 2.90°W, never recycled from a generic IST panchang.
A panchang is only as accurate as the place it is cast for. Sitting at 48.28°N, 2.90°W on Europe/Paris time, Merleac keeps its own daily rhythm, distinct from Delhi or Mumbai. On 18 June 2026 the sun rises over Merleac at 6:10 AM and sets at 10:15 PM — figures no Indian city shares — and every sunrise-bound window — Rahu Kalam, Yamaganda, Gulika, the choghadiya spells and Abhijit Muhurat — is measured off that local daylight. Borrow an IST table here and each window slips to the wrong hour; widen the gap enough and the very tithi on your date can differ.
Where do these timings come from? Planetary positions are read from the Swiss Ephemeris, the same high-precision dataset used by leading astrology programs, and corrected with the Lahiri (Chitrapaksha) ayanamsa — the sidereal standard of India's official Rashtriya Panchang. Tithi advances each time the Moon pulls 12° further ahead of the Sun; nakshatra advances as the Moon enters the next 13°20′ division. These instants are universal; we render each in Europe/Paris time and derive the sunrise-linked windows from Merleac's real horizon. Details live on our methodology page.
Diaspora households in Merleac and the wider Brittany area often face the hardest question last: what is the right time? On Thursday, 18 June 2026, this page settles it — for a puja, housewarming, naming, vehicle purchase or journey alike. Abhijit Muhurat (1:40 PM – 2:45 PM) is the day's most dependable auspicious window, while Rahu Kalam (4:13 PM – 6:14 PM) is best avoided for new beginnings. Use the choghadiya tables above to find a clear stretch for longer rituals; each timing already reflects Merleac's own clock.
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 Merleac, France.
How is Rahu Kalam calculated in Merleac?
The daylight between Merleac'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 Merleac'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 Merleac on 18 June 2026?
Rahu Kalam in Merleac on 18 June 2026 is from 4:13 PM – 6:14 PM Brittany local time. It is computed from Merleac's own sunrise and sunset — not India's — so it differs from Rahu Kalam in Indian cities.
What is the tithi on 18 June 2026 in Merleac?
The tithi is Shukla Paksha Chaturthi, until 3:31 PM local time. Tithi end times are converted to Merleac's timezone (Europe/Paris).
Why is the panchang for Merleac different from India?
All panchang timings depend on local sunrise and sunset. Merleac (48.28°, -2.90°) 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 Merleac.
What is the shubh muhurat in Merleac on 18 June 2026?
Abhijit Muhurat, the most auspicious window of the day, is 1:40 PM – 2:45 PM local time in Merleac.
