Today's Tithi in Crofton Downs
The tithi on 16 June 2026 is Shukla Paksha Pratipada. 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 Crofton Downs local time (Pacific/Auckland).
Today's Nakshatra in Crofton Downs
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 Crofton Downs.
Today's Yoga in Crofton Downs
Today's yoga is Ganda. 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 Crofton Downs
On 16 June 2026 the sun rises in Crofton Downs at 7:45 AM and sets at 4:57 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 Crofton Downs
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 Crofton Downs, Wellington Region. On 16 June 2026 the day unfolds under the Shukla Paksha Pratipada tithi with the Moon in Ardra nakshatra. Because the timings are tied to Crofton Downs's own horizon (41.26°S, 174.76°E), they differ from the figures an Indian city would show.
City-specific calculation is not a nicety; it changes the answers. Crofton Downs sits at 41.26°S, 174.76°E in the Pacific/Auckland timezone, so its sunrise, sunset and day length differ from Delhi's or Mumbai's. On 16 June 2026 the sun rises over Crofton Downs at 7:45 AM and sets at 4:57 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 Pacific/Auckland time, and all sunrise-based periods are cut from Crofton Downs's actual daylight. Our methodology page explains every step.

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 Crofton Downs, New Zealand.
How is Rahu Kalam calculated in Crofton Downs?
The daylight between Crofton Downs'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).
