About Panchang in Jharaka

Every traditional Hindu day is read through five limbs — tithi, nakshatra, yoga, karana and the weekday (vara) — which together make up the panchang, literally "five limbs". This page sets out all five for Jharaka, Uttar Pradesh on 16 June 2026: the Shukla Paksha Dvitiya tithi is in force with the Moon travelling through Ardra nakshatra. Crucially, every muhurat and kaal below is derived from Jharaka's own sunrise at 29.18°N, 78.03°E, not lifted from an India-time almanac.

Here is why this page is computed for Jharaka and not merely translated from an Indian almanac: the panchang's machinery turns on local sunrise. At 29.18°N, 78.03°E on Asia/Kolkata time, Jharaka's day starts and ends at its own hours. On 16 June 2026 the sun rises over Jharaka at 5:18 AM and sets at 7:18 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/Kolkata local time, then derive sunrise-dependent windows from Jharaka's own horizon. The full method is documented on our methodology page.

If you live in Jharaka or elsewhere in Uttar Pradesh, use this page the way a family priest would: check the tithi and nakshatra first, then choose your hour. Abhijit Muhurat (11:50 AM – 12:46 PM) is the day's most dependable auspicious window, while Rahu Kalam (3:48 PM – 5:33 PM) is best avoided for new beginnings. The choghadiya tables above divide Tuesday's daylight and night into auspicious and inauspicious spells — every figure already in Jharaka local time, with no conversion from IST required.
