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 derives from them the day's auspicious and inauspicious periods. This page computes all of them for Jhukar every day.
Today (16 June 2026) the tithi in Jhukar is Shukla Paksha Dvitiya, until 12:55 AM IST.
Rahu Kaal in Jhukar today is 3:46 PM – 5:28 PM IST. It is one-eighth of the local daylight between Jhukar's own sunrise and sunset, so it differs slightly from city to city even within India.
Abhijit Muhurat, the most dependable auspicious window of the day, is 11:54 AM – 12:49 PM IST in Jhukar today. For longer ceremonies, also check the auspicious choghadiya periods listed on this page.
Sunrise-based periods — Rahu Kaal, Yamaganda, Gulika, choghadiya, Abhijit Muhurat — are fractions of the local day length, and sunrise in Jhukar (24.23°N, 77.25°E) differs from other cities. That is why this page is computed for Jhukar's own coordinates.
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 Jhukar, Madhya Pradesh 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 Jhukar's own sky at 24.23°N, 77.25°E, never recycled from a generic IST panchang.
The reason a generic almanac misleads is geometry. Jhukar stands at 24.23°N, 77.25°E and runs on Asia/Kolkata time, so the Sun crosses its horizon on a schedule unlike any Indian city's. On 16 June 2026 the sun rises over Jhukar at 5:32 AM and sets at 7:10 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 Jhukar 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/Kolkata time and then compute Rahu Kalam, the choghadiya and the rest from Jhukar's actual sunrise and sunset. See our methodology page for the full working.
For the Hindu community in Jhukar and the wider Madhya Pradesh 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 (11:54 AM – 12:49 PM) is the day's most dependable auspicious window, while Rahu Kalam (3:46 PM – 5:28 PM) is best avoided for new beginnings. For longer ceremonies, pick a favourable choghadiya from the tables above — all in Jhukar local time, so what you read is what your clock shows.
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 Jhukar local time (Asia/Kolkata).
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 Jhukar.
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.
On 16 June 2026 the sun rises in Jhukar at 5:32 AM and sets at 7:10 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.
