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 Malkana every day.
What is the tithi today in Malkana?
Today (17 June 2026) the tithi in Malkana is Shukla Paksha Tritiya, until 9:41 PM IST.
What time is Rahu Kaal in Malkana today?
Rahu Kaal in Malkana today is 12:30 PM – 2:16 PM IST. It is one-eighth of the local daylight between Malkana's own sunrise and sunset, so it differs slightly from city to city even within India.
What is the shubh muhurat in Malkana today?
Abhijit Muhurat, the most dependable auspicious window of the day, is 12:02 PM – 12:59 PM IST in Malkana 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 Malkana (29.94°N, 75.04°E) differs from other cities. That is why this page is computed for Malkana's own coordinates.
About Panchang in Malkana
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 Malkana, Punjab on 17 June 2026, when the Shukla Paksha Tritiya tithi prevails and the Moon sits in Punarvasu nakshatra. Every auspicious and inauspicious window shown here is calculated from Malkana's own sky at 29.94°N, 75.04°E, never recycled from a generic IST panchang.
The reason a generic almanac misleads is geometry. Malkana stands at 29.94°N, 75.04°E and runs on Asia/Kolkata time, so the Sun crosses its horizon on a schedule unlike any Indian city's. On 17 June 2026 the sun rises over Malkana at 5:28 AM and sets at 7:32 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 Malkana 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 Malkana's actual sunrise and sunset. See our methodology page for the full working.
For the Hindu community in Malkana and the wider Punjab area, this page answers the practical questions: when to schedule a puja, griha pravesh, vehicle purchase, mundan or journey on Wednesday, 17 June 2026. Abhijit Muhurat (12:02 PM – 12:59 PM) is the day's most dependable auspicious window, while Rahu Kalam (12:30 PM – 2:16 PM) is best avoided for new beginnings. For longer ceremonies, pick a favourable choghadiya from the tables above — all in Malkana local time, so what you read is what your clock shows.
Today's Tithi in Malkana
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 Malkana local time (Asia/Kolkata).
Today's Nakshatra in Malkana
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 Malkana.
Today's Yoga in Malkana
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.
Sunrise and Sunset in Malkana
On 17 June 2026 the sun rises in Malkana at 5:28 AM and sets at 7:32 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.
