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 Gorekal every day.
Today (16 June 2026) the tithi in Gorekal is Shukla Paksha Dvitiya, until 12:55 AM IST.
Rahu Kaal in Gorekal today is 3:37 PM – 5:16 PM IST. It is one-eighth of the local daylight between Gorekal's own sunrise and sunset, so it differs slightly from city to city even within India.
Abhijit Muhurat, the most dependable auspicious window of the day, is 11:52 AM – 12:45 PM IST in Gorekal today. For longer ceremonies, also check the auspicious choghadiya periods listed on this page.
Sunrise-based periods — Rahu Kaal, Yamaganda, Gulika, choghadiya, Abhijit Muhurat — are fractions of the local day length, and sunrise in Gorekal (17.89°N, 77.89°E) differs from other cities. That is why this page is computed for Gorekal's own coordinates.
The five limbs of the panchang — tithi, nakshatra, yoga, karana and vara — have guided Hindu timekeeping for millennia, and this page works all five out specifically for Gorekal, Telangana. On 16 June 2026 the day unfolds under the Shukla Paksha Dvitiya tithi with the Moon in Ardra nakshatra. Because the timings are tied to Gorekal's own horizon (17.89°N, 77.89°E), they differ from the figures an Indian city would show.
City-specific calculation is not a nicety; it changes the answers. Gorekal sits at 17.89°N, 77.89°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 Gorekal at 5:43 AM and sets at 6:55 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 Gorekal's actual daylight. Our methodology page explains every step.

Whether it is a puja, griha pravesh, naming ceremony, vehicle purchase or the start of a journey, the day's structure is laid out for you. Abhijit Muhurat (11:52 AM – 12:45 PM) is the day's most dependable auspicious window, while Rahu Kalam (3:37 PM – 5:16 PM) is best avoided for new beginnings. The choghadiya tables above break Tuesday into favourable and unfavourable spells — all already in Gorekal local time.
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 Gorekal local time (Asia/Kolkata).
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 Gorekal.
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.
On 16 June 2026 the sun rises in Gorekal at 5:43 AM and sets at 6:55 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.
