Today's Tithi in Foxton Beach

The tithi on 20 June 2026 is Shukla Paksha Shashthi. 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 Foxton Beach local time (Pacific/Auckland).

Today's Nakshatra in Foxton Beach

The Moon is in Magha 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 Foxton Beach.

Today's Yoga in Foxton Beach

Today's yoga is Vajra. 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 Foxton Beach

On 20 June 2026 the sun rises in Foxton Beach at 7:42 AM and sets at 4:59 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 Foxton Beach

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 Foxton Beach, Manawatu-Wanganui. On 20 June 2026 the day unfolds under the Shukla Paksha Shashthi tithi with the Moon in Magha nakshatra. Because the timings are tied to Foxton Beach's own horizon (40.46°S, 175.23°E), they differ from the figures an Indian city would show.

Why does the city matter so much? Because nearly everything in a panchang is anchored to local sunrise. Foxton Beach lies at 40.46°S, 175.23°E and keeps Pacific/Auckland time, so its days begin and end at different moments than any Indian city's. On 20 June 2026 the sun rises over Foxton Beach at 7:42 AM and sets at 4:59 PM — figures no Indian city shares — and Rahu Kalam, Yamaganda, Gulika, the eight choghadiya periods and Abhijit Muhurat are all fractions of that local daylight. Reading an India-time panchang in Foxton Beach would put every one of those windows at the wrong local hour — and across a timezone gap, even the tithi in force on a given date can change.

A word on accuracy: every figure here is computed, not transcribed. Sun and Moon longitudes come from the Swiss Ephemeris — the precision engine behind professional jyotish software — referenced to the Lahiri (Chitrapaksha) ayanamsa that India's Rashtriya Panchang adopts. The Moon gaining 12° on the Sun marks each new tithi; crossing the next 13°20′ arc marks each new nakshatra. We convert those universal moments to Pacific/Auckland time and then carve every sunrise-based window from Foxton Beach's own daylight. The full method is on our methodology page.

For families in Foxton Beach and across Manawatu-Wanganui, this page turns the panchang into practical decisions for Saturday, 20 June 2026: which hour suits a puja, a griha pravesh, a mundan, a new vehicle or setting out on a trip. Abhijit Muhurat (12:02 PM – 12:39 PM) is the day's most dependable auspicious window, while Rahu Kalam (10:01 AM – 11:11 AM) is best avoided for new beginnings. When a ceremony needs a longer stretch, pick a favourable choghadiya from the tables above — every entry is in Foxton Beach local time, so no IST arithmetic is needed.

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 Foxton Beach, New Zealand.

How is Rahu Kalam calculated in Foxton Beach?

The daylight between Foxton Beach'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 Foxton Beach'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 Foxton Beach on 20 June 2026?

Rahu Kalam in Foxton Beach on 20 June 2026 is from 10:01 AM – 11:11 AM Manawatu-Wanganui local time. It is computed from Foxton Beach's own sunrise and sunset — not India's — so it differs from Rahu Kalam in Indian cities.

What is the tithi on 20 June 2026 in Foxton Beach?

The tithi is Shukla Paksha Shashthi, until 10:19 PM local time. Tithi end times are converted to Foxton Beach's timezone (Pacific/Auckland).

Why is the panchang for Foxton Beach different from India?

All panchang timings depend on local sunrise and sunset. Foxton Beach (-40.46°, 175.23°) 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 Foxton Beach.

What is the shubh muhurat in Foxton Beach on 20 June 2026?

Abhijit Muhurat, the most auspicious window of the day, is 12:02 PM – 12:39 PM local time in Foxton Beach.
