Banhigan Panchang

About Panchang in Banhigan

Hindus have timed worship, travel and new beginnings with the panchang for centuries. It reads each day through five limbs — tithi, nakshatra, yoga, karana and vara — and this page presents all five for Banhigan, Central Visayas on 21 June 2026. Today's reckoning: Shukla Paksha Saptami tithi, Moon in Purva Phalguni nakshatra. Every timing shown is calculated for Banhigan's own coordinates instead of being reused from an Indian city's panchang.

Location is not a detail in panchang work — it is the foundation. Banhigan, at 9.86°N, 123.39°E in the Asia/Manila zone, experiences a day that opens and closes on its own schedule rather than India's. On 21 June 2026 the sun rises over Banhigan at 5:27 AM and sets at 6:09 PM — figures no Indian city shares — and because Rahu Kalam, Yamaganda, Gulika, the choghadiya periods and Abhijit Muhurat are simply divisions of that local span of daylight, they fall at different clock times here. Even the prevailing tithi can shift across a timezone, since tithi boundaries are fixed worldwide moments that map to different local dates.

Accuracy here rests on observed astronomy. We take Sun and Moon longitudes from the Swiss Ephemeris and apply the Lahiri (Chitrapaksha) ayanamsa — the reference India's Rashtriya Panchang uses — so the results are drik-siddha rather than table-derived. A tithi turns over when the Moon advances another 12° past the Sun, a nakshatra when it steps into the next 13°20′ sector; we express those moments in Asia/Manila time and slice every sunrise-dependent period from Banhigan's own daylight. Each step is set out on our methodology page.

Treat this as your scheduling companion in Banhigan: before fixing a puja, griha pravesh, mundan, vehicle purchase or journey on Sunday, 21 June 2026, read the tithi and nakshatra, then pick the hour. Abhijit Muhurat (11:22 AM – 12:13 PM) is the day's most dependable auspicious window, while Rahu Kalam (4:34 PM – 6:09 PM) is best avoided for new beginnings. The choghadiya tables above split the day and night of Sunday into auspicious and inauspicious spells — every figure already converted to Banhigan local time, so what you read is what your clock shows.
