Today's Tithi in Usquert

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 Usquert local time (Europe/Amsterdam).

Today's Nakshatra in Usquert

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 Usquert.

Today's Yoga in Usquert

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 Usquert

On 16 June 2026 the sun rises in Usquert at 5:04 AM and sets at 10:04 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 Usquert

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 Usquert, Groningen on 16 June 2026. Today's reckoning: Shukla Paksha Dvitiya tithi, Moon in Ardra nakshatra. Every timing shown is calculated for Usquert's own coordinates instead of being reused from an Indian city's panchang.

A panchang is only as accurate as the place it is cast for. Sitting at 53.40°N, 6.61°E on Europe/Amsterdam time, Usquert keeps its own daily rhythm, distinct from Delhi or Mumbai. On 16 June 2026 the sun rises over Usquert at 5:04 AM and sets at 10:04 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 Europe/Amsterdam time and derive the sunrise-linked windows from Usquert's real horizon. Details live on our methodology page.

Diaspora households in Usquert and the wider Groningen area often face the hardest question last: what is the right time? On Tuesday, 16 June 2026, this page settles it — for a puja, housewarming, naming, vehicle purchase or journey alike. Abhijit Muhurat (1:00 PM – 2:08 PM) is the day's most dependable auspicious window, while Rahu Kalam (5:49 PM – 7:56 PM) is best avoided for new beginnings. Use the choghadiya tables above to find a clear stretch for longer rituals; each timing already reflects Usquert's own clock.

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 Usquert, Netherlands.

How is Rahu Kalam calculated in Usquert?

The daylight between Usquert'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 Usquert'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 Usquert on 16 June 2026?

Rahu Kalam in Usquert on 16 June 2026 is from 5:49 PM – 7:56 PM Groningen local time. It is computed from Usquert'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 Usquert?

The tithi is Shukla Paksha Dvitiya, until 9:25 PM local time. Tithi end times are converted to Usquert's timezone (Europe/Amsterdam).

Why is the panchang for Usquert different from India?

All panchang timings depend on local sunrise and sunset. Usquert (53.40°, 6.61°) 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 Usquert.

What is the shubh muhurat in Usquert on 16 June 2026?

Abhijit Muhurat, the most auspicious window of the day, is 1:00 PM – 2:08 PM local time in Usquert.
