Today's Tithi in Merdeka

The tithi on 15 June 2026 is Krishna Paksha Amavasya. 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 Merdeka local time (Asia/Makassar).

Today's Nakshatra in Merdeka

The Moon is in Mrigashira 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 Merdeka.

Today's Yoga in Merdeka

Today's yoga is Shula. 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 Merdeka

On 15 June 2026 the sun rises in Merdeka at 6:00 AM and sets at 5:32 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 Merdeka

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 Merdeka, East Nusa Tenggara for 15 June 2026: today the Krishna Paksha Amavasya tithi prevails with the Moon in Mrigashira nakshatra, and every muhurat and kaal window below is worked out for Merdeka's own sky rather than copied from an Indian city's almanac.

A panchang is only as accurate as the place it is cast for. Sitting at 10.16°S, 123.59°E on Asia/Makassar time, Merdeka keeps its own daily rhythm, distinct from Delhi or Mumbai. On 15 June 2026 the sun rises over Merdeka at 6:00 AM and sets at 5:32 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/Makassar time and derive the sunrise-linked windows from Merdeka's real horizon. Details live on our methodology page.

Diaspora households in Merdeka and the wider East Nusa Tenggara area often face the hardest question last: what is the right time? On Monday, 15 June 2026, this page settles it — for a puja, housewarming, naming, vehicle purchase or journey alike. Abhijit Muhurat (11:23 AM – 12:09 PM) is the day's most dependable auspicious window, while Rahu Kalam (7:26 AM – 8:53 AM) is best avoided for new beginnings. Use the choghadiya tables above to find a clear stretch for longer rituals; each timing already reflects Merdeka's own clock.

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 Merdeka, Indonesia.

How is Rahu Kalam calculated in Merdeka?

The daylight between Merdeka'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 Merdeka'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 Merdeka on 15 June 2026?

Rahu Kalam in Merdeka on 15 June 2026 is from 7:26 AM – 8:53 AM East Nusa Tenggara local time. It is computed from Merdeka's own sunrise and sunset — not India's — so it differs from Rahu Kalam in Indian cities.

What is the tithi on 15 June 2026 in Merdeka?

The tithi is Krishna Paksha Amavasya, until 10:56 AM local time. Tithi end times are converted to Merdeka's timezone (Asia/Makassar).

Why is the panchang for Merdeka different from India?

All panchang timings depend on local sunrise and sunset. Merdeka (-10.16°, 123.59°) 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 Merdeka.

What is the shubh muhurat in Merdeka on 15 June 2026?

Abhijit Muhurat, the most auspicious window of the day, is 11:23 AM – 12:09 PM local time in Merdeka.
