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 Kunda-Kottagiri every day.
Today (20 June 2026) the tithi in Kunda-Kottagiri is Shukla Paksha Shashthi, until 3:49 PM IST.
Rahu Kaal in Kunda-Kottagiri today is 9:13 AM – 10:49 AM IST. It is one-eighth of the local daylight between Kunda-Kottagiri'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 11:59 AM – 12:50 PM IST in Kunda-Kottagiri 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 Kunda-Kottagiri (11.27°N, 76.63°E) differs from other cities. That is why this page is computed for Kunda-Kottagiri's own coordinates.
The panchang — Sanskrit for "five limbs" — is the Hindu calendar that describes a day by its tithi (lunar day), nakshatra (lunar mansion), yoga, karana and vara (weekday). What you see here is the full panchang for Kunda-Kottagiri, Tamil Nadu on 20 June 2026: the day runs under the Shukla Paksha Shashthi tithi with the Moon in Magha nakshatra, and all auspicious and inauspicious windows are computed for Kunda-Kottagiri itself, not borrowed from a generic India-time table.
Why does the city matter so much? Because nearly everything in a panchang is anchored to local sunrise. Kunda-Kottagiri lies at 11.27°N, 76.63°E and keeps Asia/Kolkata time, so its days begin and end at different moments than any Indian city's. On 20 June 2026 the sun rises over Kunda-Kottagiri at 6:01 AM and sets at 6:48 PM — figures no Indian city shares — and Rahu Kalam, Yamaganda, Gulika, the eight choghadiya periods and Abhijit Muhurat are all fractions of that local daylight. Reading an India-time panchang in Kunda-Kottagiri would put every one of those windows at the wrong local hour — and across a timezone gap, even the tithi in force on a given date can change.
A word on accuracy: every figure here is computed, not transcribed. Sun and Moon longitudes come from the Swiss Ephemeris — the precision engine behind professional jyotish software — referenced to the Lahiri (Chitrapaksha) ayanamsa that India's Rashtriya Panchang adopts. The Moon gaining 12° on the Sun marks each new tithi; crossing the next 13°20′ arc marks each new nakshatra. We convert those universal moments to Asia/Kolkata time and then carve every sunrise-based window from Kunda-Kottagiri's own daylight. The full method is on our methodology page.
For families in Kunda-Kottagiri and across Tamil Nadu, this page turns the panchang into practical decisions for Saturday, 20 June 2026: which hour suits a puja, a griha pravesh, a mundan, a new vehicle or setting out on a trip. Abhijit Muhurat (11:59 AM – 12:50 PM) is the day's most dependable auspicious window, while Rahu Kalam (9:13 AM – 10:49 AM) is best avoided for new beginnings. When a ceremony needs a longer stretch, pick a favourable choghadiya from the tables above — every entry is in Kunda-Kottagiri local time, so no IST arithmetic is needed.
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 Kunda-Kottagiri local time (Asia/Kolkata).
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 Kunda-Kottagiri.
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.
On 20 June 2026 the sun rises in Kunda-Kottagiri at 6:01 AM and sets at 6:48 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.
