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 Manikaura Jit every day.
What is the tithi today in Manikaura Jit?
Today (16 June 2026) the tithi in Manikaura Jit is Shukla Paksha Dvitiya, until 12:55 AM IST.
What time is Rahu Kaal in Manikaura Jit today?
Rahu Kaal in Manikaura Jit today is 3:27 PM – 5:11 PM IST. It is one-eighth of the local daylight between Manikaura Jit's own sunrise and sunset, so it differs slightly from city to city even within India.
What is the shubh muhurat in Manikaura Jit today?
Abhijit Muhurat, the most dependable auspicious window of the day, is 11:31 AM – 12:27 PM IST in Manikaura Jit 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 Manikaura Jit (27.20°N, 82.79°E) differs from other cities. That is why this page is computed for Manikaura Jit's own coordinates.
About Panchang in Manikaura Jit
The five limbs of the panchang — tithi, nakshatra, yoga, karana and vara — have guided Hindu timekeeping for millennia, and this page works all five out specifically for Manikaura Jit, Uttar Pradesh. On 16 June 2026 the day unfolds under the Shukla Paksha Dvitiya tithi with the Moon in Ardra nakshatra. Because the timings are tied to Manikaura Jit's own horizon (27.20°N, 82.79°E), they differ from the figures an Indian city would show.
The reason a generic almanac misleads is geometry. Manikaura Jit stands at 27.20°N, 82.79°E and runs on Asia/Kolkata time, so the Sun crosses its horizon on a schedule unlike any Indian city's. On 16 June 2026 the sun rises over Manikaura Jit at 5:04 AM and sets at 6:55 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 Manikaura Jit 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 Manikaura Jit's actual sunrise and sunset. See our methodology page for the full working.
For the Hindu community in Manikaura Jit and the wider Uttar Pradesh area, this page answers the practical questions: when to schedule a puja, griha pravesh, vehicle purchase, mundan or journey on Tuesday, 16 June 2026. Abhijit Muhurat (11:31 AM – 12:27 PM) is the day's most dependable auspicious window, while Rahu Kalam (3:27 PM – 5:11 PM) is best avoided for new beginnings. For longer ceremonies, pick a favourable choghadiya from the tables above — all in Manikaura Jit local time, so what you read is what your clock shows.
Today's Tithi in Manikaura Jit
The tithi on 16 June 2026 is Shukla Paksha Dvitiya. 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 Manikaura Jit local time (Asia/Kolkata).
Today's Nakshatra in Manikaura Jit
The Moon is in Ardra 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 Manikaura Jit.
Today's Yoga in Manikaura Jit
Today's yoga is Vriddhi. 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 Manikaura Jit
On 16 June 2026 the sun rises in Manikaura Jit at 5:04 AM and sets at 6:55 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.
