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 derives from them the day's auspicious and inauspicious periods. This page computes all of them for Ghansara every day.
What is the tithi today in Ghansara?
Today (16 June 2026) the tithi in Ghansara is Shukla Paksha Dvitiya, until 12:55 AM IST.
What time is Rahu Kaal in Ghansara today?
Rahu Kaal in Ghansara today is 3:12 PM – 4:54 PM IST. It is one-eighth of the local daylight between Ghansara's own sunrise and sunset, so it differs slightly from city to city even within India.
What is the shubh muhurat in Ghansara today?
Abhijit Muhurat, the most dependable auspicious window of the day, is 11:22 AM – 12:16 PM IST in Ghansara today. For longer ceremonies, also check the auspicious choghadiya periods listed on this page.
Why is the panchang slightly different for each city?
Sunrise-based periods — Rahu Kaal, Yamaganda, Gulika, choghadiya, Abhijit Muhurat — are fractions of the local day length, and sunrise in Ghansara (22.92°N, 85.28°E) differs from other cities. That is why this page is computed for Ghansara's own coordinates.
About Panchang in Ghansara
A panchang is the traditional Hindu almanac that maps each day through five limbs — tithi (lunar day), nakshatra (the constellation the Moon occupies), yoga, karana and vara (weekday). This page carries the complete panchang for Ghansara, Jharkhand for 16 June 2026: today the Shukla Paksha Dvitiya tithi prevails with the Moon in Ardra nakshatra, and every muhurat and kaal window below is worked out for Ghansara's own sky rather than copied from an Indian city's almanac.
The reason a generic almanac misleads is geometry. Ghansara stands at 22.92°N, 85.28°E and runs on Asia/Kolkata time, so the Sun crosses its horizon on a schedule unlike any Indian city's. On 16 June 2026 the sun rises over Ghansara at 5:03 AM and sets at 6:35 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 Ghansara 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 Asia/Kolkata time and then compute Rahu Kalam, the choghadiya and the rest from Ghansara's actual sunrise and sunset. See our methodology page for the full working.
For the Hindu community in Ghansara and the wider Jharkhand 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 (11:22 AM – 12:16 PM) is the day's most dependable auspicious window, while Rahu Kalam (3:12 PM – 4:54 PM) is best avoided for new beginnings. For longer ceremonies, pick a favourable choghadiya from the tables above — all in Ghansara local time, so what you read is what your clock shows.
Today's Tithi in Ghansara
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 Ghansara local time (Asia/Kolkata).
Today's Nakshatra in Ghansara
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 Ghansara.
Today's Yoga in Ghansara
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 Ghansara
On 16 June 2026 the sun rises in Ghansara at 5:03 AM and sets at 6:35 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.
