Today's Tithi in Sunkani
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 Sunkani local time (Africa/Lagos).
Today's Nakshatra in Sunkani
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 Sunkani.
Today's Yoga in Sunkani
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 Sunkani
On 16 June 2026 the sun rises in Sunkani at 5:56 AM and sets at 6:34 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 Sunkani
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 Sunkani, Taraba State. 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 Sunkani's own horizon (8.70°N, 11.26°E), they differ from the figures an Indian city would show.
City-specific calculation is not a nicety; it changes the answers. Sunkani sits at 8.70°N, 11.26°E in the Africa/Lagos timezone, so its sunrise, sunset and day length differ from Delhi's or Mumbai's. On 16 June 2026 the sun rises over Sunkani at 5:56 AM and sets at 6:34 PM — figures no Indian city shares — and since Rahu Kalam, Yamaganda, Gulika, choghadiya and Abhijit Muhurat are all carved out of the local interval between sunrise and sunset, each of those windows lands at a different clock time here than in India. Even the prevailing tithi on your calendar date can differ, because tithi boundaries fall at fixed moments worldwide that convert to different local dates across timezones.
The numbers on this page are drik-siddha — derived from observed planetary positions rather than older mean-motion tables. We compute Sun and Moon longitudes with the Swiss Ephemeris and apply the Lahiri (Chitrapaksha) ayanamsa used by the Indian government's Rashtriya Panchang. A tithi ends when the Moon gains a further 12° on the Sun, a nakshatra when the Moon crosses into the next 13°20′ segment; those instants are then expressed in Africa/Lagos time, and all sunrise-based periods are cut from Sunkani's actual daylight. Our methodology page explains every step.

Whether it is a puja, griha pravesh, naming ceremony, vehicle purchase or the start of a journey, the day's structure is laid out for you. Abhijit Muhurat (11:50 AM – 12:41 PM) is the day's most dependable auspicious window, while Rahu Kalam (3:25 PM – 4:59 PM) is best avoided for new beginnings. The choghadiya tables above break Tuesday into favourable and unfavourable spells — all already in Sunkani local time.
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 Sunkani, Nigeria.
How is Rahu Kalam calculated in Sunkani?
The daylight between Sunkani'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 Sunkani'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 Sunkani on 16 June 2026?
Rahu Kalam in Sunkani on 16 June 2026 is from 3:25 PM – 4:59 PM Taraba State local time. It is computed from Sunkani's own sunrise and sunset — not India's — so it differs from Rahu Kalam in Indian cities.
What is the tithi on 16 June 2026 in Sunkani?
The tithi is Shukla Paksha Dvitiya, until 8:25 PM local time. Tithi end times are converted to Sunkani's timezone (Africa/Lagos).
Why is the panchang for Sunkani different from India?
All panchang timings depend on local sunrise and sunset. Sunkani (8.70°, 11.26°) 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 Sunkani.
What is the shubh muhurat in Sunkani on 16 June 2026?
Abhijit Muhurat, the most auspicious window of the day, is 11:50 AM – 12:41 PM local time in Sunkani.
