Today's Tithi in Safed
The tithi on 18 June 2026 is Shukla Paksha Chaturthi. 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 Safed local time (Asia/Jerusalem).
Today's Nakshatra in Safed
The Moon is in Pushya 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 Safed.
Today's Yoga in Safed
Today's yoga is Vyaghata. 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 Safed
On 18 June 2026 the sun rises in Safed at 5:29 AM and sets at 7:49 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 Safed
Think of the panchang as the Hindu day's instruction sheet: five limbs — tithi (lunar day), nakshatra (the Moon's mansion), yoga, karana and vara — that tell you what each day favours. For Safed, Northern District on 18 June 2026 the sheet reads Shukla Paksha Chaturthi tithi with the Moon in Pushya nakshatra. Every window further down is computed for Safed's location (32.96°N, 35.50°E) rather than copied from a standard Indian-city table.
City-specific calculation is not a nicety; it changes the answers. Safed sits at 32.96°N, 35.50°E in the Asia/Jerusalem timezone, so its sunrise, sunset and day length differ from Delhi's or Mumbai's. On 18 June 2026 the sun rises over Safed at 5:29 AM and sets at 7:49 PM — figures no Indian city shares — and since Rahu Kalam, Yamaganda, Gulika, choghadiya and Abhijit Muhurat are all carved out of the local interval between sunrise and sunset, each of those windows lands at a different clock time here than in India. Even the prevailing tithi on your calendar date can differ, because tithi boundaries fall at fixed moments worldwide that convert to different local dates across timezones.
The numbers on this page are drik-siddha — derived from observed planetary positions rather than older mean-motion tables. We compute Sun and Moon longitudes with the Swiss Ephemeris and apply the Lahiri (Chitrapaksha) ayanamsa used by the Indian government's Rashtriya Panchang. A tithi ends when the Moon gains a further 12° on the Sun, a nakshatra when the Moon crosses into the next 13°20′ segment; those instants are then expressed in Asia/Jerusalem time, and all sunrise-based periods are cut from Safed's actual daylight. Our methodology page explains every step.

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 Safed, Israel.
How is Rahu Kalam calculated in Safed?
The daylight between Safed'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 Safed'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 Safed on 18 June 2026?
Rahu Kalam in Safed on 18 June 2026 is from 2:26 PM – 4:14 PM Northern District local time. It is computed from Safed's own sunrise and sunset — not India's — so it differs from Rahu Kalam in Indian cities.
What is the tithi on 18 June 2026 in Safed?
The tithi is Shukla Paksha Chaturthi, until 4:31 PM local time. Tithi end times are converted to Safed's timezone (Asia/Jerusalem).
Why is the panchang for Safed different from India?
All panchang timings depend on local sunrise and sunset. Safed (32.96°, 35.50°) 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 Safed.
What is the shubh muhurat in Safed on 18 June 2026?
Abhijit Muhurat, the most auspicious window of the day, is 12:10 PM – 1:07 PM local time in Safed.
