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 Manak-deke every day.
What is the tithi today in Manak-deke?
Today (18 June 2026) the tithi in Manak-deke is Shukla Paksha Chaturthi, until 7:01 PM IST.
What time is Rahu Kaal in Manak-deke today?
Rahu Kaal in Manak-deke today is 2:17 PM – 4:03 PM IST. It is one-eighth of the local daylight between Manak-deke's own sunrise and sunset, so it differs slightly from city to city even within India.
What is the shubh muhurat in Manak-deke today?
Abhijit Muhurat, the most dependable auspicious window of the day, is 12:02 PM – 12:59 PM IST in Manak-deke 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 Manak-deke (31.34°N, 75.11°E) differs from other cities. That is why this page is computed for Manak-deke's own coordinates.
About Panchang in Manak-deke
A panchang is the traditional Hindu almanac that maps each day through five limbs — tithi (lunar day), nakshatra (the constellation the Moon occupies), yoga, karana and vara (weekday). This page carries the complete panchang for Manak-deke, Punjab for 18 June 2026: today the Shukla Paksha Chaturthi tithi prevails with the Moon in Pushya nakshatra, and every muhurat and kaal window below is worked out for Manak-deke's own sky rather than copied from an Indian city's almanac.
Why does the city matter so much? Because nearly everything in a panchang is anchored to local sunrise. Manak-deke lies at 31.34°N, 75.11°E and keeps Asia/Kolkata time, so its days begin and end at different moments than any Indian city's. On 18 June 2026 the sun rises over Manak-deke at 5:25 AM and sets at 7:36 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 Manak-deke 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 Manak-deke's own daylight. The full method is on our methodology page.
For families in Manak-deke and across Punjab, this page turns the panchang into practical decisions for Thursday, 18 June 2026: which hour suits a puja, a griha pravesh, a mundan, a new vehicle or setting out on a trip. Abhijit Muhurat (12:02 PM – 12:59 PM) is the day's most dependable auspicious window, while Rahu Kalam (2:17 PM – 4:03 PM) 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 Manak-deke local time, so no IST arithmetic is needed.
Today's Tithi in Manak-deke
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 Manak-deke local time (Asia/Kolkata).
Today's Nakshatra in Manak-deke
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 Manak-deke.
Today's Yoga in Manak-deke
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 Manak-deke
On 18 June 2026 the sun rises in Manak-deke at 5:25 AM and sets at 7:36 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.
