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 Maladi every day.
Today (17 June 2026) the tithi in Maladi is Shukla Paksha Tritiya, until 9:41 PM IST.
Rahu Kaal in Maladi today is 12:30 PM – 2:07 PM IST. It is one-eighth of the local daylight between Maladi'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 12:04 PM – 12:56 PM IST in Maladi 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 Maladi (13.02°N, 75.16°E) differs from other cities. That is why this page is computed for Maladi's own coordinates.
Hindus have timed worship, travel and new beginnings with the panchang for centuries. It reads each day through five limbs — tithi, nakshatra, yoga, karana and vara — and this page presents all five for Maladi, Karnataka on 17 June 2026. Today's reckoning: Shukla Paksha Tritiya tithi, Moon in Punarvasu nakshatra. Every timing shown is calculated for Maladi's own coordinates instead of being reused from an Indian city's panchang.
A panchang is only as accurate as the place it is cast for. Sitting at 13.02°N, 75.16°E on Asia/Kolkata time, Maladi keeps its own daily rhythm, distinct from Delhi or Mumbai. On 17 June 2026 the sun rises over Maladi at 6:03 AM and sets at 6:57 PM — figures no Indian city shares — and every sunrise-bound window — Rahu Kalam, Yamaganda, Gulika, the choghadiya spells and Abhijit Muhurat — is measured off that local daylight. Borrow an IST table here and each window slips to the wrong hour; widen the gap enough and the very tithi on your date can differ.
Where do these timings come from? Planetary positions are read from the Swiss Ephemeris, the same high-precision dataset used by leading astrology programs, and corrected with the Lahiri (Chitrapaksha) ayanamsa — the sidereal standard of India's official Rashtriya Panchang. Tithi advances each time the Moon pulls 12° further ahead of the Sun; nakshatra advances as the Moon enters the next 13°20′ division. These instants are universal; we render each in Asia/Kolkata time and derive the sunrise-linked windows from Maladi's real horizon. Details live on our methodology page.
Diaspora households in Maladi and the wider Karnataka area often face the hardest question last: what is the right time? On Wednesday, 17 June 2026, this page settles it — for a puja, housewarming, naming, vehicle purchase or journey alike. Abhijit Muhurat (12:04 PM – 12:56 PM) is the day's most dependable auspicious window, while Rahu Kalam (12:30 PM – 2:07 PM) is best avoided for new beginnings. Use the choghadiya tables above to find a clear stretch for longer rituals; each timing already reflects Maladi's own clock.
The tithi on 17 June 2026 is Shukla Paksha Tritiya. 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 Maladi local time (Asia/Kolkata).
The Moon is in Punarvasu 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 Maladi.
Today's yoga is Dhruva. 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 17 June 2026 the sun rises in Maladi at 6:03 AM and sets at 6:57 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.
