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 Kottaitturai every day.
What is the tithi today in Kottaitturai?
Today (18 June 2026) the tithi in Kottaitturai is Shukla Paksha Chaturthi, until 7:01 PM IST.
What time is Rahu Kaal in Kottaitturai today?
Rahu Kaal in Kottaitturai today is 1:54 PM – 3:29 PM IST. It is one-eighth of the local daylight between Kottaitturai's own sunrise and sunset, so it differs slightly from city to city even within India.
What is the shubh muhurat in Kottaitturai today?
Abhijit Muhurat, the most dependable auspicious window of the day, is 11:53 AM – 12:44 PM IST in Kottaitturai 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 Kottaitturai (10.41°N, 78.07°E) differs from other cities. That is why this page is computed for Kottaitturai's own coordinates.
About Panchang in Kottaitturai
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 Kottaitturai, Tamil Nadu on 18 June 2026, when the Shukla Paksha Chaturthi tithi prevails and the Moon sits in Pushya nakshatra. Every auspicious and inauspicious window shown here is calculated from Kottaitturai's own sky at 10.41°N, 78.07°E, never recycled from a generic IST panchang.
City-specific calculation is not a nicety; it changes the answers. Kottaitturai sits at 10.41°N, 78.07°E in the Asia/Kolkata timezone, so its sunrise, sunset and day length differ from Delhi's or Mumbai's. On 18 June 2026 the sun rises over Kottaitturai at 5:57 AM and sets at 6:40 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/Kolkata time, and all sunrise-based periods are cut from Kottaitturai's actual daylight. Our methodology page explains every step.

The choghadiya tables above break Thursday into favourable and unfavourable spells — all already in Kottaitturai local time.
Today's Tithi in Kottaitturai
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 Kottaitturai local time (Asia/Kolkata).
Today's Nakshatra in Kottaitturai
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 Kottaitturai.
Today's Yoga in Kottaitturai
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 Kottaitturai
On 18 June 2026 the sun rises in Kottaitturai at 5:57 AM and sets at 6:40 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.
