Takalar Panchang

About Panchang in Takalar

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 Takalar, South Sulawesi on 21 June 2026: the day runs under the Shukla Paksha Saptami tithi with the Moon in Purva Phalguni nakshatra, and all auspicious and inauspicious windows are computed for Takalar itself, not borrowed from a generic India-time table.

Here is why this page is computed for Takalar and not merely translated from an Indian almanac: the panchang's machinery turns on local sunrise. At 5.43°S, 119.44°E on Asia/Makassar time, Takalar's day starts and ends at its own hours. On 21 June 2026 the sun rises over Takalar at 6:09 AM and sets at 5:58 PM — figures no Indian city shares — and the inauspicious periods — Rahu Kalam, Yamaganda, Gulika — along with the choghadiya sequence and Abhijit Muhurat are all slices of that local daylight, so each sits at a different clock time than it would in India. A large timezone offset can even move the tithi onto a different calendar date.

How these timings are calculated: planetary longitudes come from the Swiss Ephemeris, the same high-precision library used by professional astrology software, with the Lahiri (Chitrapaksha) ayanamsa — the sidereal reference adopted by India's official Rashtriya Panchang. Tithi changes when the Moon moves 12° ahead of the Sun; nakshatra changes as the Moon crosses each 13°20′ arc of the zodiac. These transition moments are universal, and we convert each one into Asia/Makassar local time, then derive sunrise-dependent windows from Takalar's own horizon. The full method is documented on our methodology page.

If you live in Takalar or elsewhere in South Sulawesi, use this page the way a family priest would: check the tithi and nakshatra first, then choose your hour. Abhijit Muhurat (11:40 AM – 12:27 PM) is the day's most dependable auspicious window, while Rahu Kalam (4:29 PM – 5:58 PM) is best avoided for new beginnings. The choghadiya tables above divide Sunday's daylight and night into auspicious and inauspicious spells — every figure already in Takalar local time, with no conversion from IST required.
