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 Mari Gugga every day.
Today (20 June 2026) the tithi in Mari Gugga is Shukla Paksha Shashthi, until 3:49 PM IST.
Rahu Kaal in Mari Gugga today is 8:56 AM – 10:42 AM IST. It is one-eighth of the local daylight between Mari Gugga's own sunrise and sunset, so it differs slightly from city to city even within India.

Sunrise-based periods — Rahu Kaal, Yamaganda, Gulika, choghadiya, Abhijit Muhurat — are fractions of the local day length, and sunrise in Mari Gugga (30.31°N, 75.82°E) differs from other cities. That is why this page is computed for Mari Gugga'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 Mari Gugga, Punjab 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 Mari Gugga itself, not borrowed from a generic India-time table.
A panchang is only as accurate as the place it is cast for. Sitting at 30.31°N, 75.82°E on Asia/Kolkata time, Mari Gugga keeps its own daily rhythm, distinct from Delhi or Mumbai. On 20 June 2026 the sun rises over Mari Gugga at 5:25 AM and sets at 7:31 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 Mari Gugga's real horizon. Details live on our methodology page.
Diaspora households in Mari Gugga and the wider Punjab area often face the hardest question last: what is the right time? On Saturday, 20 June 2026, this page settles it — for a puja, housewarming, naming, vehicle purchase or journey alike. Abhijit Muhurat (12:00 PM – 12:56 PM) is the day's most dependable auspicious window, while Rahu Kalam (8:56 AM – 10:42 AM) is best avoided for new beginnings. Use the choghadiya tables above to find a clear stretch for longer rituals; each timing already reflects Mari Gugga's own clock.
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 Mari Gugga 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 Mari Gugga.
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 Mari Gugga at 5:25 AM and sets at 7:31 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.
