Pakauli Panchang · 16 June 2026

About Panchang in Pakauli

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 Pakauli, Bihar 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 Pakauli itself, not borrowed from a generic India-time table.

The reason a generic almanac misleads is geometry. Pakauli stands at 25.56°N, 85.00°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 Pakauli at 4:59 AM and sets at 6:42 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 Pakauli 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 Pakauli's actual sunrise and sunset. See our methodology page for the full working.

For the Hindu community in Pakauli and the wider Bihar area, this page answers the practical questions: when to schedule a puja, griha pravesh, vehicle purchase, mundan or journey on Tuesday, 16 June 2026. Abhijit Muhurat (11:23 AM – 12:18 PM) is the day's most dependable auspicious window, while Rahu Kalam (3:16 PM – 4:59 PM) is best avoided for new beginnings. For longer ceremonies, pick a favourable choghadiya from the tables above — all in Pakauli local time, so what you read is what your clock shows.
