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 derives from them the day's auspicious and inauspicious periods. This page computes all of them for Pakri - Jungle every day.
Today (18 June 2026) the tithi in Pakri - Jungle is Shukla Paksha Chaturthi, until 7:01 PM IST.
Rahu Kaal in Pakri - Jungle today is 1:41 PM – 3:24 PM IST. It is one-eighth of the local daylight between Pakri - Jungle's own sunrise and sunset, so it differs slightly from city to city even within India.
Abhijit Muhurat, the most dependable auspicious window of the day, is 11:29 AM – 12:25 PM IST in Pakri - Jungle today. For longer ceremonies, also check the auspicious choghadiya periods listed on this page.
Sunrise-based periods — Rahu Kaal, Yamaganda, Gulika, choghadiya, Abhijit Muhurat — are fractions of the local day length, and sunrise in Pakri - Jungle (26.83°N, 83.44°E) differs from other cities. That is why this page is computed for Pakri - Jungle's own coordinates.
Think of the panchang as the Hindu day's instruction sheet: five limbs — tithi (lunar day), nakshatra (the Moon's mansion), yoga, karana and vara — that tell you what each day favours. For Pakri - Jungle, Uttar Pradesh on 18 June 2026 the sheet reads Shukla Paksha Chaturthi tithi with the Moon in Pushya nakshatra. Every window further down is computed for Pakri - Jungle's location (26.83°N, 83.44°E) rather than copied from a standard Indian-city table.
The reason a generic almanac misleads is geometry. Pakri - Jungle stands at 26.83°N, 83.44°E and runs on Asia/Kolkata time, so the Sun crosses its horizon on a schedule unlike any Indian city's. On 18 June 2026 the sun rises over Pakri - Jungle at 5:02 AM and sets at 6:52 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 Pakri - Jungle 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 Pakri - Jungle's actual sunrise and sunset. See our methodology page for the full working.
For the Hindu community in Pakri - Jungle and the wider Uttar Pradesh area, this page answers the practical questions: when to schedule a puja, griha pravesh, vehicle purchase, mundan or journey on Thursday, 18 June 2026. Abhijit Muhurat (11:29 AM – 12:25 PM) is the day's most dependable auspicious window, while Rahu Kalam (1:41 PM – 3:24 PM) is best avoided for new beginnings. For longer ceremonies, pick a favourable choghadiya from the tables above — all in Pakri - Jungle local time, so what you read is what your clock shows.
The tithi on 18 June 2026 is Shukla Paksha Chaturthi. 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 Pakri - Jungle local time (Asia/Kolkata).
The Moon is in Pushya 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 Pakri - Jungle.
Today's yoga is Vyaghata. 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.
On 18 June 2026 the sun rises in Pakri - Jungle at 5:02 AM and sets at 6:52 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.
