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 Ghataua every day.
What is the tithi today in Ghataua?
Today (16 June 2026) the tithi in Ghataua is Shukla Paksha Dvitiya, until 12:55 AM IST.
What time is Rahu Kaal in Ghataua today?
Rahu Kaal in Ghataua today is 3:28 PM – 5:11 PM IST. It is one-eighth of the local daylight between Ghataua's own sunrise and sunset, so it differs slightly from city to city even within India.
What is the shubh muhurat in Ghataua today?
Abhijit Muhurat, the most dependable auspicious window of the day, is 11:35 AM – 12:30 PM IST in Ghataua 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 Ghataua (25.12°N, 81.91°E) differs from other cities. That is why this page is computed for Ghataua's own coordinates.
About Panchang in Ghataua
Think of the panchang as the Hindu day's instruction sheet: five limbs — tithi (lunar day), nakshatra (the Moon's mansion), yoga, karana and vara — that tell you what each day favours. For Ghataua, Uttar Pradesh on 16 June 2026 the sheet reads Shukla Paksha Dvitiya tithi with the Moon in Ardra nakshatra. Every window further down is computed for Ghataua's location (25.12°N, 81.91°E) rather than copied from a standard Indian-city table.
City-specific calculation is not a nicety; it changes the answers. Ghataua sits at 25.12°N, 81.91°E in the Asia/Kolkata timezone, so its sunrise, sunset and day length differ from Delhi's or Mumbai's. On 16 June 2026 the sun rises over Ghataua at 5:12 AM and sets at 6:54 PM — figures no Indian city shares — and since Rahu Kalam, Yamaganda, Gulika, choghadiya and Abhijit Muhurat are all carved out of the local interval between sunrise and sunset, each of those windows lands at a different clock time here than in India. Even the prevailing tithi on your calendar date can differ, because tithi boundaries fall at fixed moments worldwide that convert to different local dates across timezones.
The numbers on this page are drik-siddha — derived from observed planetary positions rather than older mean-motion tables. We compute Sun and Moon longitudes with the Swiss Ephemeris and apply the Lahiri (Chitrapaksha) ayanamsa used by the Indian government's Rashtriya Panchang. A tithi ends when the Moon gains a further 12° on the Sun, a nakshatra when the Moon crosses into the next 13°20′ segment; those instants are then expressed in Asia/Kolkata time, and all sunrise-based periods are cut from Ghataua's actual daylight. Our methodology page explains every step.

Abhijit Muhurat (11:35 AM – 12:30 PM) is the day's most dependable auspicious window, while Rahu Kalam (3:28 PM – 5:11 PM) is best avoided for new beginnings. The choghadiya tables above break Tuesday into favourable and unfavourable spells — all already in Ghataua local time.
Today's Tithi in Ghataua
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 Ghataua local time (Asia/Kolkata).
Today's Nakshatra in Ghataua
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 Ghataua.
Today's Yoga in Ghataua
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 Ghataua
On 16 June 2026 the sun rises in Ghataua at 5:12 AM and sets at 6:54 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.
