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 Guru-ka-Bagh every day.
Today (19 June 2026) the tithi in Guru-ka-Bagh is Shukla Paksha Panchami, until 5:02 PM IST.
Rahu Kaal in Guru-ka-Bagh today is 10:45 AM – 12:32 PM IST. It is one-eighth of the local daylight between Guru-ka-Bagh'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 12:03 PM – 1:00 PM IST in Guru-ka-Bagh 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 Guru-ka-Bagh (31.78°N, 74.84°E) differs from other cities. That is why this page is computed for Guru-ka-Bagh'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 Guru-ka-Bagh, Punjab on 19 June 2026 the sheet reads Shukla Paksha Panchami tithi with the Moon in Ashlesha nakshatra. Every window further down is computed for Guru-ka-Bagh's location (31.78°N, 74.84°E) rather than copied from a standard Indian-city table.
The reason a generic almanac misleads is geometry. Guru-ka-Bagh stands at 31.78°N, 74.84°E and runs on Asia/Kolkata time, so the Sun crosses its horizon on a schedule unlike any Indian city's. On 19 June 2026 the sun rises over Guru-ka-Bagh at 5:25 AM and sets at 7:38 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 Guru-ka-Bagh 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 Guru-ka-Bagh's actual sunrise and sunset. See our methodology page for the full working.
For the Hindu community in Guru-ka-Bagh and the wider Punjab area, this page answers the practical questions: when to schedule a puja, griha pravesh, vehicle purchase, mundan or journey on Friday, 19 June 2026. Abhijit Muhurat (12:03 PM – 1:00 PM) is the day's most dependable auspicious window, while Rahu Kalam (10:45 AM – 12:32 PM) is best avoided for new beginnings. For longer ceremonies, pick a favourable choghadiya from the tables above — all in Guru-ka-Bagh local time, so what you read is what your clock shows.
The tithi on 19 June 2026 is Shukla Paksha Panchami. 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 Guru-ka-Bagh local time (Asia/Kolkata).
The Moon is in Ashlesha 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 Guru-ka-Bagh.
Today's yoga is Harshana. 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 19 June 2026 the sun rises in Guru-ka-Bagh at 5:25 AM and sets at 7:38 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.
