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 Gudugal every day.
Today (17 June 2026) the tithi in Gudugal is Shukla Paksha Tritiya, until 9:41 PM IST.
Rahu Kaal in Gudugal today is 12:30 PM – 2:07 PM IST. It is one-eighth of the local daylight between Gudugal'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 12:04 PM – 12:56 PM IST in Gudugal 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 Gudugal (13.84°N, 75.09°E) differs from other cities. That is why this page is computed for Gudugal's own coordinates.
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 Gudugal, Karnataka on 17 June 2026 the sheet reads Shukla Paksha Tritiya tithi with the Moon in Punarvasu nakshatra. Every window further down is computed for Gudugal's location (13.84°N, 75.09°E) rather than copied from a standard Indian-city table.
The reason a generic almanac misleads is geometry. Gudugal stands at 13.84°N, 75.09°E and runs on Asia/Kolkata time, so the Sun crosses its horizon on a schedule unlike any Indian city's. On 17 June 2026 the sun rises over Gudugal at 6:02 AM and sets at 6:58 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 Gudugal 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 Gudugal's actual sunrise and sunset. See our methodology page for the full working.
For the Hindu community in Gudugal and the wider Karnataka area, this page answers the practical questions: when to schedule a puja, griha pravesh, vehicle purchase, mundan or journey on Wednesday, 17 June 2026. Abhijit Muhurat (12:04 PM – 12:56 PM) is the day's most dependable auspicious window, while Rahu Kalam (12:30 PM – 2:07 PM) is best avoided for new beginnings. For longer ceremonies, pick a favourable choghadiya from the tables above — all in Gudugal local time, so what you read is what your clock shows.
The tithi on 17 June 2026 is Shukla Paksha Tritiya. 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 Gudugal local time (Asia/Kolkata).
The Moon is in Punarvasu 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 Gudugal.
Today's yoga is Dhruva. 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 17 June 2026 the sun rises in Gudugal at 6:02 AM and sets at 6:58 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.
