Today's Tithi in Pollestres
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 Pollestres local time (Europe/Paris).
Today's Nakshatra in Pollestres
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 Pollestres.
Today's Yoga in Pollestres
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 Pollestres
On 16 June 2026 the sun rises in Pollestres at 6:10 AM and sets at 9:28 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 Pollestres
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 Pollestres, Occitanie on 16 June 2026, when the Shukla Paksha Dvitiya tithi prevails and the Moon sits in Ardra nakshatra. Every auspicious and inauspicious window shown here is calculated from Pollestres's own sky at 42.64°N, 2.87°E, never recycled from a generic IST panchang.
The reason a generic almanac misleads is geometry. Pollestres stands at 42.64°N, 2.87°E and runs on Europe/Paris time, so the Sun crosses its horizon on a schedule unlike any Indian city's. On 16 June 2026 the sun rises over Pollestres at 6:10 AM and sets at 9:28 PM — figures no Indian city shares — and Rahu Kalam, Yamaganda, Gulika, the eight choghadiya periods and Abhijit Muhurat are each cut from the interval between this local sunrise and sunset. Use IST figures in Pollestres and every window lands at the wrong moment — and over a wide enough longitude gap, the date's tithi itself can change.
Behind the timings on this page is a precise pipeline: Swiss Ephemeris longitudes for the Sun and Moon, adjusted by the Lahiri (Chitrapaksha) ayanamsa adopted in India's Rashtriya Panchang. The rule is simple — a tithi closes when the Moon is 12° further along than the Sun, a nakshatra when the Moon enters the next 13°20′ span. Those moments hold worldwide, so we translate each into Europe/Paris time and then compute Rahu Kalam, the choghadiya and the rest from Pollestres's actual sunrise and sunset. See our methodology page for the full working.
For the Hindu community in Pollestres and the wider Occitanie area, this page answers the practical questions: when to schedule a puja, griha pravesh, vehicle purchase, mundan or journey on Tuesday, 16 June 2026. Abhijit Muhurat (1:18 PM – 2:19 PM) is the day's most dependable auspicious window, while Rahu Kalam (5:38 PM – 7:33 PM) is best avoided for new beginnings. For longer ceremonies, pick a favourable choghadiya from the tables above — all in Pollestres local time, so what you read is what your clock shows.
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 Pollestres, France.
How is Rahu Kalam calculated in Pollestres?
The daylight between Pollestres'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 Pollestres'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 Pollestres on 16 June 2026?
Rahu Kalam in Pollestres on 16 June 2026 is from 5:38 PM – 7:33 PM Occitanie local time. It is computed from Pollestres'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 Pollestres?
The tithi is Shukla Paksha Dvitiya, until 9:25 PM local time. Tithi end times are converted to Pollestres's timezone (Europe/Paris).
Why is the panchang for Pollestres different from India?
All panchang timings depend on local sunrise and sunset. Pollestres (42.64°, 2.87°) 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 Pollestres.
What is the shubh muhurat in Pollestres on 16 June 2026?
Abhijit Muhurat, the most auspicious window of the day, is 1:18 PM – 2:19 PM local time in Pollestres.
