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 Muni ka Bas every day.
Today (16 June 2026) the tithi in Muni ka Bas is Shukla Paksha Dvitiya, until 12:55 AM IST.
Rahu Kaal in Muni ka Bas today is 3:59 PM – 5:43 PM IST. It is one-eighth of the local daylight between Muni ka Bas'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 Muni ka Bas (28.29°N, 75.15°E) differs from other cities. That is why this page is computed for Muni ka Bas'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 Muni ka Bas, Rajasthan on 16 June 2026: the day runs under the Shukla Paksha Dvitiya tithi with the Moon in Ardra nakshatra, and all auspicious and inauspicious windows are computed for Muni ka Bas itself, not borrowed from a generic India-time table.
The reason a generic almanac misleads is geometry. Muni ka Bas stands at 28.29°N, 75.15°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 Muni ka Bas at 5:32 AM and sets at 7:28 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 Muni ka Bas 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 Muni ka Bas's actual sunrise and sunset. See our methodology page for the full working.

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 Muni ka Bas local time (Asia/Kolkata).
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 Muni ka Bas.
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.
On 16 June 2026 the sun rises in Muni ka Bas at 5:32 AM and sets at 7:28 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.
