Girigiria Panchang · 20 June 2026

About Panchang in Girigiria

Hindus have timed worship, travel and new beginnings with the panchang for centuries. It reads each day through five limbs — tithi, nakshatra, yoga, karana and vara — and this page presents all five for Girigiria, Odisha on 20 June 2026. Today's reckoning: Shukla Paksha Shashthi tithi, Moon in Magha nakshatra. Every timing shown is calculated for Girigiria's own coordinates instead of being reused from an Indian city's panchang.

The reason a generic almanac misleads is geometry. Girigiria stands at 20.22°N, 85.16°E and runs on Asia/Kolkata time, so the Sun crosses its horizon on a schedule unlike any Indian city's. On 20 June 2026 the sun rises over Girigiria at 5:10 AM and sets at 6:31 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 Girigiria 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 Girigiria's actual sunrise and sunset. See our methodology page for the full working.

For the Hindu community in Girigiria and the wider Odisha area, this page answers the practical questions: when to schedule a puja, griha pravesh, vehicle purchase, mundan or journey on Saturday, 20 June 2026. Abhijit Muhurat (11:24 AM – 12:17 PM) is the day's most dependable auspicious window, while Rahu Kalam (8:30 AM – 10:10 AM) is best avoided for new beginnings. For longer ceremonies, pick a favourable choghadiya from the tables above — all in Girigiria local time, so what you read is what your clock shows.
