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 Petha Waingam every day.
What is the tithi today in Petha Waingam?
Today (18 June 2026) the tithi in Petha Waingam is Shukla Paksha Chaturthi, until 7:01 PM IST.
What time is Rahu Kaal in Petha Waingam today?
Rahu Kaal in Petha Waingam today is 2:21 PM – 4:09 PM IST. It is one-eighth of the local daylight between Petha Waingam's own sunrise and sunset, so it differs slightly from city to city even within India.
What is the shubh muhurat in Petha Waingam today?
Abhijit Muhurat, the most dependable auspicious window of the day, is 12:04 PM – 1:02 PM IST in Petha Waingam 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 Petha Waingam (34.17°N, 74.50°E) differs from other cities. That is why this page is computed for Petha Waingam's own coordinates.
About Panchang in Petha Waingam
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 Petha Waingam, Jammu and Kashmir. On 18 June 2026 the day unfolds under the Shukla Paksha Chaturthi tithi with the Moon in Pushya nakshatra. Because the timings are tied to Petha Waingam's own horizon (34.17°N, 74.50°E), they differ from the figures an Indian city would show.
The reason a generic almanac misleads is geometry. Petha Waingam stands at 34.17°N, 74.50°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 Petha Waingam at 5:20 AM and sets at 7:46 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 Petha Waingam 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 Petha Waingam's actual sunrise and sunset. See our methodology page for the full working.
For the Hindu community in Petha Waingam and the wider Jammu and Kashmir 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 (12:04 PM – 1:02 PM) is the day's most dependable auspicious window, while Rahu Kalam (2:21 PM – 4:09 PM) is best avoided for new beginnings. For longer ceremonies, pick a favourable choghadiya from the tables above — all in Petha Waingam local time, so what you read is what your clock shows.
Today's Tithi in Petha Waingam
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 Petha Waingam local time (Asia/Kolkata).
Today's Nakshatra in Petha Waingam
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 Petha Waingam.
Today's Yoga in Petha Waingam
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 Petha Waingam
On 18 June 2026 the sun rises in Petha Waingam at 5:20 AM and sets at 7:46 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.
