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 Hathi Dhar every day.
What is the tithi today in Hathi Dhar?
Today (16 June 2026) the tithi in Hathi Dhar is Shukla Paksha Dvitiya, until 12:55 AM IST.
What time is Rahu Kaal in Hathi Dhar today?
Rahu Kaal in Hathi Dhar today is 4:00 PM – 5:47 PM IST. It is one-eighth of the local daylight between Hathi Dhar's own sunrise and sunset, so it differs slightly from city to city even within India.
What is the shubh muhurat in Hathi Dhar today?
Abhijit Muhurat, the most dependable auspicious window of the day, is 11:58 AM – 12:55 PM IST in Hathi Dhar 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 Hathi Dhar (32.35°N, 76.02°E) differs from other cities. That is why this page is computed for Hathi Dhar's own coordinates.
About Panchang in Hathi Dhar
A panchang is the traditional Hindu almanac that maps each day through five limbs — tithi (lunar day), nakshatra (the constellation the Moon occupies), yoga, karana and vara (weekday). This page carries the complete panchang for Hathi Dhar, Himachal Pradesh for 16 June 2026: today the Shukla Paksha Dvitiya tithi prevails with the Moon in Ardra nakshatra, and every muhurat and kaal window below is worked out for Hathi Dhar's own sky rather than copied from an Indian city's almanac.
Location is not a detail in panchang work — it is the foundation. Hathi Dhar, at 32.35°N, 76.02°E in the Asia/Kolkata zone, experiences a day that opens and closes on its own schedule rather than India's. On 16 June 2026 the sun rises over Hathi Dhar at 5:18 AM and sets at 7:34 PM — figures no Indian city shares — and because Rahu Kalam, Yamaganda, Gulika, the choghadiya periods and Abhijit Muhurat are simply divisions of that local span of daylight, they fall at different clock times here. Even the prevailing tithi can shift across a timezone, since tithi boundaries are fixed worldwide moments that map to different local dates.
Accuracy here rests on observed astronomy. We take Sun and Moon longitudes from the Swiss Ephemeris and apply the Lahiri (Chitrapaksha) ayanamsa — the reference India's Rashtriya Panchang uses — so the results are drik-siddha rather than table-derived. A tithi turns over when the Moon advances another 12° past the Sun, a nakshatra when it steps into the next 13°20′ sector; we express those moments in Asia/Kolkata time and slice every sunrise-dependent period from Hathi Dhar's own daylight. Each step is set out on our methodology page.
Treat this as your scheduling companion in Hathi Dhar: before fixing a puja, griha pravesh, mundan, vehicle purchase or journey on Tuesday, 16 June 2026, read the tithi and nakshatra, then pick the hour. Abhijit Muhurat (11:58 AM – 12:55 PM) is the day's most dependable auspicious window, while Rahu Kalam (4:00 PM – 5:47 PM) is best avoided for new beginnings. The choghadiya tables above split the day and night of Tuesday into auspicious and inauspicious spells — every figure already converted to Hathi Dhar local time, so what you read is what your clock shows.
Today's Tithi in Hathi Dhar
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 Hathi Dhar local time (Asia/Kolkata).
Today's Nakshatra in Hathi Dhar
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 Hathi Dhar.
Today's Yoga in Hathi Dhar
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.
Sunrise and Sunset in Hathi Dhar
On 16 June 2026 the sun rises in Hathi Dhar at 5:18 AM and sets at 7:34 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.
