Molfetta Panchang

About Panchang in Molfetta

Hindus have timed worship, travel and new beginnings with the panchang for centuries. It reads each day through five limbs — tithi, nakshatra, yoga, karana and vara — and this page presents all five for Molfetta, Apulia on 15 June 2026. Today's reckoning: Shukla Paksha Pratipada tithi, Moon in Mrigashira nakshatra. Every timing shown is calculated for Molfetta's own coordinates instead of being reused from an Indian city's panchang.

Here is why this page is computed for Molfetta and not merely translated from an Indian almanac: the panchang's machinery turns on local sunrise. At 41.20°N, 16.60°E on Europe/Rome time, Molfetta's day starts and ends at its own hours. On 15 June 2026 the sun rises over Molfetta at 5:20 AM and sets at 8:28 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 Europe/Rome local time, then derive sunrise-dependent windows from Molfetta's own horizon. The full method is documented on our methodology page.

If you live in Molfetta or elsewhere in Apulia, use this page the way a family priest would: check the tithi and nakshatra first, then choose your hour. Abhijit Muhurat (12:23 PM – 1:24 PM) is the day's most dependable auspicious window, while Rahu Kalam (7:13 AM – 9:07 AM) is best avoided for new beginnings. The choghadiya tables above divide Monday's daylight and night into auspicious and inauspicious spells — every figure already in Molfetta local time, with no conversion from IST required.
