Today's Tithi in Cempaka
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 Cempaka local time (Asia/Jakarta).
Today's Nakshatra in Cempaka
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 Cempaka.
Today's Yoga in Cempaka
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 Cempaka
On 20 June 2026 the sun rises in Cempaka at 5:56 AM and sets at 5:38 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.
About Panchang in Cempaka
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 Cempaka, West Java for 20 June 2026: today the Shukla Paksha Shashthi tithi prevails with the Moon in Magha nakshatra, and every muhurat and kaal window below is worked out for Cempaka's own sky rather than copied from an Indian city's almanac.
Why does the city matter so much? Because nearly everything in a panchang is anchored to local sunrise. Cempaka lies at 7.32°S, 108.52°E and keeps Asia/Jakarta time, so its days begin and end at different moments than any Indian city's. On 20 June 2026 the sun rises over Cempaka at 5:56 AM and sets at 5:38 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 Cempaka 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/Jakarta time and then carve every sunrise-based window from Cempaka's own daylight. The full method is on our methodology page.
For families in Cempaka and across West Java, this page turns the panchang into practical decisions for Saturday, 20 June 2026: which hour suits a puja, a griha pravesh, a mundan, a new vehicle or setting out on a trip. Abhijit Muhurat (11:24 AM – 12:11 PM) is the day's most dependable auspicious window, while Rahu Kalam (8:52 AM – 10:19 AM) 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 Cempaka 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 Cempaka, Indonesia.
How is Rahu Kalam calculated in Cempaka?
The daylight between Cempaka'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 Cempaka'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 Cempaka on 20 June 2026?
Rahu Kalam in Cempaka on 20 June 2026 is from 8:52 AM – 10:19 AM West Java local time. It is computed from Cempaka's own sunrise and sunset — not India's — so it differs from Rahu Kalam in Indian cities.
What is the tithi on 20 June 2026 in Cempaka?
The tithi is Shukla Paksha Shashthi, until 5:19 PM local time. Tithi end times are converted to Cempaka's timezone (Asia/Jakarta).
Why is the panchang for Cempaka different from India?
All panchang timings depend on local sunrise and sunset. Cempaka (-7.32°, 108.52°) 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 Cempaka.
What is the shubh muhurat in Cempaka on 20 June 2026?
Abhijit Muhurat, the most auspicious window of the day, is 11:24 AM – 12:11 PM local time in Cempaka.
