Today's Tithi in Bau
The tithi on 16 June 2026 is Shukla Paksha Pratipada. 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 Bau local time (Asia/Makassar).
Today's Nakshatra in Bau
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 Bau.
Today's Yoga in Bau
Today's yoga is Ganda. 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 Bau
On 16 June 2026 the sun rises in Bau at 6:16 AM and sets at 5:53 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.
About Panchang in Bau
Hindus have timed worship, travel and new beginnings with the panchang for centuries. It reads each day through five limbs — tithi, nakshatra, yoga, karana and vara — and this page presents all five for Bau, West Nusa Tenggara on 16 June 2026. Today's reckoning: Shukla Paksha Pratipada tithi, Moon in Ardra nakshatra. Every timing shown is calculated for Bau's own coordinates instead of being reused from an Indian city's panchang.
Why does the city matter so much? Because nearly everything in a panchang is anchored to local sunrise. Bau lies at 8.56°S, 118.97°E and keeps Asia/Makassar time, so its days begin and end at different moments than any Indian city's. On 16 June 2026 the sun rises over Bau at 6:16 AM and sets at 5:53 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 Bau 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/Makassar time and then carve every sunrise-based window from Bau's own daylight. The full method is on our methodology page.
For families in Bau and across West Nusa Tenggara, this page turns the panchang into practical decisions for Tuesday, 16 June 2026: which hour suits a puja, a griha pravesh, a mundan, a new vehicle or setting out on a trip. Abhijit Muhurat (11:41 AM – 12:28 PM) is the day's most dependable auspicious window, while Rahu Kalam (2:59 PM – 4:26 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 Bau local time, so no IST arithmetic is needed.
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 from them derives the day's auspicious (muhurat) and inauspicious (Rahu Kalam, Yamaganda) periods. This page computes all of them for Bau, Indonesia.
How is Rahu Kalam calculated in Bau?
The daylight between Bau's local sunrise and sunset is divided into eight equal parts, and one fixed part belongs to Rahu depending on the weekday (for example the 8th part on Sunday, the 2nd on Monday). Because Bau's sunrise and day length differ from India's, its Rahu Kalam falls at different clock times than in Indian cities.
What time is Rahu Kalam in Bau on 16 June 2026?
Rahu Kalam in Bau on 16 June 2026 is from 2:59 PM – 4:26 PM West Nusa Tenggara local time. It is computed from Bau's own sunrise and sunset — not India's — so it differs from Rahu Kalam in Indian cities.
What is the tithi on 16 June 2026 in Bau?
The tithi is Shukla Paksha Pratipada, until 7:03 AM local time. Tithi end times are converted to Bau's timezone (Asia/Makassar).
Why is the panchang for Bau different from India?
All panchang timings depend on local sunrise and sunset. Bau (-8.56°, 118.97°) has different sun times than India, so Rahu Kalam, choghadiya and muhurat windows shift — and because of the time difference, even the tithi prevailing on your calendar date can differ from India's. This page is computed specifically for Bau.
What is the shubh muhurat in Bau on 16 June 2026?
Abhijit Muhurat, the most auspicious window of the day, is 11:41 AM – 12:28 PM local time in Bau.
