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 Mehadpuri Tanda every day.
Today (20 June 2026) the tithi in Mehadpuri Tanda is Shukla Paksha Shashthi, until 3:49 PM IST.
Rahu Kaal in Mehadpuri Tanda today is 9:05 AM – 10:45 AM IST. It is one-eighth of the local daylight between Mehadpuri Tanda'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 11:58 AM – 12:51 PM IST in Mehadpuri Tanda 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 Mehadpuri Tanda (18.99°N, 76.69°E) differs from other cities. That is why this page is computed for Mehadpuri Tanda'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 Mehadpuri Tanda, Maharashtra on 20 June 2026. Today's reckoning: Shukla Paksha Shashthi tithi, Moon in Magha nakshatra. Every timing shown is calculated for Mehadpuri Tanda's own coordinates instead of being reused from an Indian city's panchang.
Why does the city matter so much? Because nearly everything in a panchang is anchored to local sunrise. Mehadpuri Tanda lies at 18.99°N, 76.69°E and keeps Asia/Kolkata time, so its days begin and end at different moments than any Indian city's. On 20 June 2026 the sun rises over Mehadpuri Tanda at 5:46 AM and sets at 7:03 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 Mehadpuri Tanda 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 Mehadpuri Tanda's own daylight. The full method is on our methodology page.
For families in Mehadpuri Tanda and across Maharashtra, this page turns the panchang into practical decisions for Saturday, 20 June 2026: which hour suits a puja, a griha pravesh, a mundan, a new vehicle or setting out on a trip. Abhijit Muhurat (11:58 AM – 12:51 PM) is the day's most dependable auspicious window, while Rahu Kalam (9:05 AM – 10:45 AM) 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 Mehadpuri Tanda local time, so no IST arithmetic is needed.
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 Mehadpuri Tanda 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 Mehadpuri Tanda.
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 Mehadpuri Tanda at 5:46 AM and sets at 7:03 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.
