Today's Tithi in Long Mountain
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 Long Mountain local time (Indian/Mauritius).
Today's Nakshatra in Long Mountain
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 Long Mountain.
Today's Yoga in Long Mountain
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 Long Mountain
On 18 June 2026 the sun rises in Long Mountain at 6:43 AM and sets at 5:38 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.
About Panchang in Long Mountain
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 Long Mountain, Pamplemousses. On 18 June 2026 the day unfolds under the Shukla Paksha Chaturthi tithi with the Moon in Pushya nakshatra. Because the timings are tied to Long Mountain's own horizon (20.15°S, 57.57°E), they differ from the figures an Indian city would show.
Here is why this page is computed for Long Mountain and not merely translated from an Indian almanac: the panchang's machinery turns on local sunrise. At 20.15°S, 57.57°E on Indian/Mauritius time, Long Mountain's day starts and ends at its own hours. On 18 June 2026 the sun rises over Long Mountain at 6:43 AM and sets at 5:38 PM — figures no Indian city shares — and the inauspicious periods — Rahu Kalam, Yamaganda, Gulika — along with the choghadiya sequence and Abhijit Muhurat are all slices of that local daylight, so each sits at a different clock time than it would in India. A large timezone offset can even move the tithi onto a different calendar date.
How these timings are calculated: planetary longitudes come from the Swiss Ephemeris, the same high-precision library used by professional astrology software, with the Lahiri (Chitrapaksha) ayanamsa — the sidereal reference adopted by India's official Rashtriya Panchang. Tithi changes when the Moon moves 12° ahead of the Sun; nakshatra changes as the Moon crosses each 13°20′ arc of the zodiac. These transition moments are universal, and we convert each one into Indian/Mauritius local time, then derive sunrise-dependent windows from Long Mountain's own horizon. The full method is documented on our methodology page.
If you live in Long Mountain or elsewhere in Pamplemousses, use this page the way a family priest would: check the tithi and nakshatra first, then choose your hour. Abhijit Muhurat (11:49 AM – 12:32 PM) is the day's most dependable auspicious window, while Rahu Kalam (1:32 PM – 2:54 PM) is best avoided for new beginnings. The choghadiya tables above divide Thursday's daylight and night into auspicious and inauspicious spells — every figure already in Long Mountain local time, with no conversion from IST required.
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 from them derives the day's auspicious (muhurat) and inauspicious (Rahu Kalam, Yamaganda) periods. This page computes all of them for Long Mountain, Mauritius.
How is Rahu Kalam calculated in Long Mountain?
The daylight between Long Mountain's local sunrise and sunset is divided into eight equal parts, and one fixed part belongs to Rahu depending on the weekday (for example the 8th part on Sunday, the 2nd on Monday). Because Long Mountain's sunrise and day length differ from India's, its Rahu Kalam falls at different clock times than in Indian cities.
What time is Rahu Kalam in Long Mountain on 18 June 2026?
Rahu Kalam in Long Mountain on 18 June 2026 is from 1:32 PM – 2:54 PM Pamplemousses local time. It is computed from Long Mountain's own sunrise and sunset — not India's — so it differs from Rahu Kalam in Indian cities.
What is the tithi on 18 June 2026 in Long Mountain?
The tithi is Shukla Paksha Chaturthi, until 5:31 PM local time. Tithi end times are converted to Long Mountain's timezone (Indian/Mauritius).
Why is the panchang for Long Mountain different from India?
All panchang timings depend on local sunrise and sunset. Long Mountain (-20.15°, 57.57°) has different sun times than India, so Rahu Kalam, choghadiya and muhurat windows shift — and because of the time difference, even the tithi prevailing on your calendar date can differ from India's. This page is computed specifically for Long Mountain.
What is the shubh muhurat in Long Mountain on 18 June 2026?
Abhijit Muhurat, the most auspicious window of the day, is 11:49 AM – 12:32 PM local time in Long Mountain.
