Hanuman Dih Panchang · 18 June 2026

About Panchang in Hanuman Dih

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 Hanuman Dih, Uttar Pradesh on 18 June 2026: the day runs under the Shukla Paksha Chaturthi tithi with the Moon in Pushya nakshatra, and all auspicious and inauspicious windows are computed for Hanuman Dih itself, not borrowed from a generic India-time table.

Why does the city matter so much? Because nearly everything in a panchang is anchored to local sunrise. Hanuman Dih lies at 27.18°N, 83.25°E and keeps Asia/Kolkata time, so its days begin and end at different moments than any Indian city's. On 18 June 2026 the sun rises over Hanuman Dih at 5:02 AM and sets at 6:53 PM — figures no Indian city shares — and Rahu Kalam, Yamaganda, Gulika, the eight choghadiya periods and Abhijit Muhurat are all fractions of that local daylight. Reading an India-time panchang in Hanuman Dih would put every one of those windows at the wrong local hour — and across a timezone gap, even the tithi in force on a given date can change.

A word on accuracy: every figure here is computed, not transcribed. Sun and Moon longitudes come from the Swiss Ephemeris — the precision engine behind professional jyotish software — referenced to the Lahiri (Chitrapaksha) ayanamsa that India's Rashtriya Panchang adopts. The Moon gaining 12° on the Sun marks each new tithi; crossing the next 13°20′ arc marks each new nakshatra. We convert those universal moments to Asia/Kolkata time and then carve every sunrise-based window from Hanuman Dih's own daylight. The full method is on our methodology page.

For families in Hanuman Dih and across Uttar Pradesh, this page turns the panchang into practical decisions for Thursday, 18 June 2026: which hour suits a puja, a griha pravesh, a mundan, a new vehicle or setting out on a trip. Abhijit Muhurat (11:30 AM – 12:25 PM) is the day's most dependable auspicious window, while Rahu Kalam (1:42 PM – 3:26 PM) is best avoided for new beginnings. When a ceremony needs a longer stretch, pick a favourable choghadiya from the tables above — every entry is in Hanuman Dih local time, so no IST arithmetic is needed.
