Today's Tithi in Bayabas

The tithi on 17 June 2026 is Shukla Paksha Tritiya. 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 Bayabas local time (Asia/Manila).

Today's Nakshatra in Bayabas

The Moon is in Punarvasu 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 Bayabas.

Today's Yoga in Bayabas

Today's yoga is Dhruva. 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 Bayabas

On 17 June 2026 the sun rises in Bayabas at 5:16 AM and sets at 5:55 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.

About Panchang in Bayabas

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 Bayabas, Caraga. On 17 June 2026 the day unfolds under the Shukla Paksha Tritiya tithi with the Moon in Punarvasu nakshatra. Because the timings are tied to Bayabas's own horizon (8.97°N, 126.29°E), they differ from the figures an Indian city would show.

Why does the city matter so much? Because nearly everything in a panchang is anchored to local sunrise. Bayabas lies at 8.97°N, 126.29°E and keeps Asia/Manila time, so its days begin and end at different moments than any Indian city's. On 17 June 2026 the sun rises over Bayabas at 5:16 AM and sets at 5:55 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 Bayabas 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/Manila time and then carve every sunrise-based window from Bayabas's own daylight. The full method is on our methodology page.

For families in Bayabas and across Caraga, this page turns the panchang into practical decisions for Wednesday, 17 June 2026: which hour suits a puja, a griha pravesh, a mundan, a new vehicle or setting out on a trip. Abhijit Muhurat (11:10 AM – 12:01 PM) is the day's most dependable auspicious window, while Rahu Kalam (11:35 AM – 1:10 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 Bayabas local time, so no IST arithmetic is needed.

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 from them derives the day's auspicious (muhurat) and inauspicious (Rahu Kalam, Yamaganda) periods. This page computes all of them for Bayabas, Philippines.

How is Rahu Kalam calculated in Bayabas?

The daylight between Bayabas's local sunrise and sunset is divided into eight equal parts, and one fixed part belongs to Rahu depending on the weekday (for example the 8th part on Sunday, the 2nd on Monday). Because Bayabas's sunrise and day length differ from India's, its Rahu Kalam falls at different clock times than in Indian cities.

What time is Rahu Kalam in Bayabas on 17 June 2026?

Rahu Kalam in Bayabas on 17 June 2026 is from 11:35 AM – 1:10 PM Caraga local time. It is computed from Bayabas's own sunrise and sunset — not India's — so it differs from Rahu Kalam in Indian cities.

What is the tithi on 17 June 2026 in Bayabas?

The tithi is Shukla Paksha Tritiya, until 12:11 AM local time. Tithi end times are converted to Bayabas's timezone (Asia/Manila).

Why is the panchang for Bayabas different from India?

All panchang timings depend on local sunrise and sunset. Bayabas (8.97°, 126.29°) has different sun times than India, so Rahu Kalam, choghadiya and muhurat windows shift — and because of the time difference, even the tithi prevailing on your calendar date can differ from India's. This page is computed specifically for Bayabas.

What is the shubh muhurat in Bayabas on 17 June 2026?

Abhijit Muhurat, the most auspicious window of the day, is 11:10 AM – 12:01 PM local time in Bayabas.
