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 derives from them the day's auspicious and inauspicious periods. This page computes all of them for Joshi Purwa every day.
What is the tithi today in Joshi Purwa?
Today (20 June 2026) the tithi in Joshi Purwa is Shukla Paksha Shashthi, until 3:49 PM IST.
What time is Rahu Kaal in Joshi Purwa today?
Rahu Kaal in Joshi Purwa today is 8:41 AM – 10:25 AM IST. It is one-eighth of the local daylight between Joshi Purwa's own sunrise and sunset, so it differs slightly from city to city even within India.
What is the shubh muhurat in Joshi Purwa today?
Abhijit Muhurat, the most dependable auspicious window of the day, is 11:41 AM – 12:36 PM IST in Joshi Purwa today. For longer ceremonies, also check the auspicious choghadiya periods listed on this page.
Why is the panchang slightly different for each city?
Sunrise-based periods — Rahu Kaal, Yamaganda, Gulika, choghadiya, Abhijit Muhurat — are fractions of the local day length, and sunrise in Joshi Purwa (27.27°N, 80.68°E) differs from other cities. That is why this page is computed for Joshi Purwa's own coordinates.
About Panchang in Joshi Purwa
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 Joshi Purwa, Uttar Pradesh on 20 June 2026, when the Shukla Paksha Shashthi tithi prevails and the Moon sits in Magha nakshatra. Every auspicious and inauspicious window shown here is calculated from Joshi Purwa's own sky at 27.27°N, 80.68°E, never recycled from a generic IST panchang.
The reason a generic almanac misleads is geometry. Joshi Purwa stands at 27.27°N, 80.68°E and runs on Asia/Kolkata time, so the Sun crosses its horizon on a schedule unlike any Indian city's. On 20 June 2026 the sun rises over Joshi Purwa at 5:13 AM and sets at 7:04 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 Joshi Purwa 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 Joshi Purwa's actual sunrise and sunset. See our methodology page for the full working.
For the Hindu community in Joshi Purwa and the wider Uttar Pradesh area, this page answers the practical questions: when to schedule a puja, griha pravesh, vehicle purchase, mundan or journey on Saturday, 20 June 2026. Abhijit Muhurat (11:41 AM – 12:36 PM) is the day's most dependable auspicious window, while Rahu Kalam (8:41 AM – 10:25 AM) is best avoided for new beginnings. For longer ceremonies, pick a favourable choghadiya from the tables above — all in Joshi Purwa local time, so what you read is what your clock shows.
Today's Tithi in Joshi Purwa
The tithi on 20 June 2026 is Shukla Paksha Shashthi. 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 Joshi Purwa local time (Asia/Kolkata).
Today's Nakshatra in Joshi Purwa
The Moon is in Magha 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 Joshi Purwa.
Today's Yoga in Joshi Purwa
Today's yoga is Vajra. 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 Joshi Purwa
On 20 June 2026 the sun rises in Joshi Purwa at 5:13 AM and sets at 7:04 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.
