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 Hambu-ka-Kot every day.
What is the tithi today in Hambu-ka-Kot?
Today (20 June 2026) the tithi in Hambu-ka-Kot is Shukla Paksha Shashthi, until 3:49 PM IST.
What time is Rahu Kaal in Hambu-ka-Kot today?
Rahu Kaal in Hambu-ka-Kot today is 8:53 AM – 10:40 AM IST. It is one-eighth of the local daylight between Hambu-ka-Kot's own sunrise and sunset, so it differs slightly from city to city even within India.
What is the shubh muhurat in Hambu-ka-Kot today?
Abhijit Muhurat, the most dependable auspicious window of the day, is 11:59 AM – 12:56 PM IST in Hambu-ka-Kot 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 Hambu-ka-Kot (32.51°N, 76.03°E) differs from other cities. That is why this page is computed for Hambu-ka-Kot's own coordinates.
About Panchang in Hambu-ka-Kot
The panchang — Sanskrit for "five limbs" — is the Hindu calendar that describes a day by its tithi (lunar day), nakshatra (lunar mansion), yoga, karana and vara (weekday). What you see here is the full panchang for Hambu-ka-Kot, Himachal Pradesh on 20 June 2026: the day runs under the Shukla Paksha Shashthi tithi with the Moon in Magha nakshatra, and all auspicious and inauspicious windows are computed for Hambu-ka-Kot itself, not borrowed from a generic India-time table.
A panchang is only as accurate as the place it is cast for. Sitting at 32.51°N, 76.03°E on Asia/Kolkata time, Hambu-ka-Kot keeps its own daily rhythm, distinct from Delhi or Mumbai. On 20 June 2026 the sun rises over Hambu-ka-Kot at 5:18 AM and sets at 7:36 PM — figures no Indian city shares — and every sunrise-bound window — Rahu Kalam, Yamaganda, Gulika, the choghadiya spells and Abhijit Muhurat — is measured off that local daylight. Borrow an IST table here and each window slips to the wrong hour; widen the gap enough and the very tithi on your date can differ.
Where do these timings come from? Planetary positions are read from the Swiss Ephemeris, the same high-precision dataset used by leading astrology programs, and corrected with the Lahiri (Chitrapaksha) ayanamsa — the sidereal standard of India's official Rashtriya Panchang. Tithi advances each time the Moon pulls 12° further ahead of the Sun; nakshatra advances as the Moon enters the next 13°20′ division. These instants are universal; we render each in Asia/Kolkata time and derive the sunrise-linked windows from Hambu-ka-Kot's real horizon. Details live on our methodology page.
Diaspora households in Hambu-ka-Kot and the wider Himachal Pradesh area often face the hardest question last: what is the right time? On Saturday, 20 June 2026, this page settles it — for a puja, housewarming, naming, vehicle purchase or journey alike. Abhijit Muhurat (11:59 AM – 12:56 PM) is the day's most dependable auspicious window, while Rahu Kalam (8:53 AM – 10:40 AM) is best avoided for new beginnings. Use the choghadiya tables above to find a clear stretch for longer rituals; each timing already reflects Hambu-ka-Kot's own clock.
Today's Tithi in Hambu-ka-Kot
The tithi on 20 June 2026 is Shukla Paksha Shashthi. 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 Hambu-ka-Kot local time (Asia/Kolkata).
Today's Nakshatra in Hambu-ka-Kot
The Moon is in Magha 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 Hambu-ka-Kot.
Today's Yoga in Hambu-ka-Kot
Today's yoga is Vajra. 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 Hambu-ka-Kot
On 20 June 2026 the sun rises in Hambu-ka-Kot at 5:18 AM and sets at 7:36 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.
