Today's Tithi in Ariel

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 Ariel local time (Asia/Jerusalem).

Today's Nakshatra in Ariel

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 Ariel.

Today's Yoga in Ariel

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 Ariel

On 16 June 2026 the sun rises in Ariel at 5:32 AM and sets at 7:47 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 Ariel

A panchang answers a simple question — what does today favour? — through five limbs: tithi, nakshatra, yoga, karana and vara. This is the complete panchang for Ariel, Judea and Samaria Area on 16 June 2026, when the Shukla Paksha Dvitiya tithi prevails and the Moon sits in Ardra nakshatra. Every auspicious and inauspicious window shown here is calculated from Ariel's own sky at 32.11°N, 35.18°E, never recycled from a generic IST panchang.

The reason a generic almanac misleads is geometry. Ariel stands at 32.11°N, 35.18°E and runs on Asia/Jerusalem time, so the Sun crosses its horizon on a schedule unlike any Indian city's. On 16 June 2026 the sun rises over Ariel at 5:32 AM and sets at 7:47 PM — figures no Indian city shares — and Rahu Kalam, Yamaganda, Gulika, the eight choghadiya periods and Abhijit Muhurat are each cut from the interval between this local sunrise and sunset. Use IST figures in Ariel and every window lands at the wrong moment — and over a wide enough longitude gap, the date's tithi itself can change.

Behind the timings on this page is a precise pipeline: Swiss Ephemeris longitudes for the Sun and Moon, adjusted by the Lahiri (Chitrapaksha) ayanamsa adopted in India's Rashtriya Panchang. The rule is simple — a tithi closes when the Moon is 12° further along than the Sun, a nakshatra when the Moon enters the next 13°20′ span. Those moments hold worldwide, so we translate each into Asia/Jerusalem time and then compute Rahu Kalam, the choghadiya and the rest from Ariel's actual sunrise and sunset. See our methodology page for the full working.

For the Hindu community in Ariel and the wider Judea and Samaria Area area, this page answers the practical questions: when to schedule a puja, griha pravesh, vehicle purchase, mundan or journey on Tuesday, 16 June 2026. Abhijit Muhurat (12:11 PM – 1:08 PM) is the day's most dependable auspicious window, while Rahu Kalam (4:13 PM – 6:00 PM) is best avoided for new beginnings. For longer ceremonies, pick a favourable choghadiya from the tables above — all in Ariel local time, so what you read is what your clock shows.

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 Ariel, Israel.

How is Rahu Kalam calculated in Ariel?

The daylight between Ariel'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 Ariel'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 Ariel on 16 June 2026?

Rahu Kalam in Ariel on 16 June 2026 is from 4:13 PM – 6:00 PM Judea and Samaria Area local time. It is computed from Ariel'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 Ariel?

The tithi is Shukla Paksha Dvitiya, until 10:25 PM local time. Tithi end times are converted to Ariel's timezone (Asia/Jerusalem).

Why is the panchang for Ariel different from India?

All panchang timings depend on local sunrise and sunset. Ariel (32.11°, 35.18°) 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 Ariel.

What is the shubh muhurat in Ariel on 16 June 2026?

Abhijit Muhurat, the most auspicious window of the day, is 12:11 PM – 1:08 PM local time in Ariel.
