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 derives from them the day's auspicious and inauspicious periods. This page computes all of them for Panj Garain every day.
What is the tithi today in Panj Garain?
Today (18 June 2026) the tithi in Panj Garain is Shukla Paksha Chaturthi, until 7:01 PM IST.
What time is Rahu Kaal in Panj Garain today?
Rahu Kaal in Panj Garain today is 2:14 PM – 4:01 PM IST. It is one-eighth of the local daylight between Panj Garain's own sunrise and sunset, so it differs slightly from city to city even within India.
What is the shubh muhurat in Panj Garain today?
Abhijit Muhurat, the most dependable auspicious window of the day, is 11:59 AM – 12:56 PM IST in Panj Garain today. For longer ceremonies, also check the auspicious choghadiya periods listed on this page.
Why is the panchang slightly different for each city?
Sunrise-based periods — Rahu Kaal, Yamaganda, Gulika, choghadiya, Abhijit Muhurat — are fractions of the local day length, and sunrise in Panj Garain (31.54°N, 75.82°E) differs from other cities. That is why this page is computed for Panj Garain's own coordinates.
About Panchang in Panj Garain
A panchang is the traditional Hindu almanac that maps each day through five limbs — tithi (lunar day), nakshatra (the constellation the Moon occupies), yoga, karana and vara (weekday). This page carries the complete panchang for Panj Garain, Punjab for 18 June 2026: today the Shukla Paksha Chaturthi tithi prevails with the Moon in Pushya nakshatra, and every muhurat and kaal window below is worked out for Panj Garain's own sky rather than copied from an Indian city's almanac.
Why does the city matter so much? Because nearly everything in a panchang is anchored to local sunrise. Panj Garain lies at 31.54°N, 75.82°E and keeps Asia/Kolkata time, so its days begin and end at different moments than any Indian city's. On 18 June 2026 the sun rises over Panj Garain at 5:21 AM and sets at 7:34 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 Panj Garain 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 Asia/Kolkata time and then carve every sunrise-based window from Panj Garain's own daylight. The full method is on our methodology page.
For families in Panj Garain and across Punjab, this page turns the panchang into practical decisions for Thursday, 18 June 2026: which hour suits a puja, a griha pravesh, a mundan, a new vehicle or setting out on a trip. Abhijit Muhurat (11:59 AM – 12:56 PM) is the day's most dependable auspicious window, while Rahu Kalam (2:14 PM – 4:01 PM) 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 Panj Garain local time, so no IST arithmetic is needed.
Today's Tithi in Panj Garain
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 Panj Garain local time (Asia/Kolkata).
Today's Nakshatra in Panj Garain
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 Panj Garain.
Today's Yoga in Panj Garain
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.
Sunrise and Sunset in Panj Garain
On 18 June 2026 the sun rises in Panj Garain at 5:21 AM and sets at 7:34 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.
