Vila do Conde Panchang

About Panchang in Vila do Conde

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 Vila do Conde, Porto for 16 June 2026: today the Shukla Paksha Dvitiya tithi prevails with the Moon in Ardra nakshatra, and every muhurat and kaal window below is worked out for Vila do Conde's own sky rather than copied from an Indian city's almanac.

Here is why this page is computed for Vila do Conde and not merely translated from an Indian almanac: the panchang's machinery turns on local sunrise. At 41.35°N, 8.75°W on Europe/Lisbon time, Vila do Conde's day starts and ends at its own hours. On 16 June 2026 the sun rises over Vila do Conde at 6:01 AM and sets at 9:10 PM — figures no Indian city shares — and the inauspicious periods — Rahu Kalam, Yamaganda, Gulika — along with the choghadiya sequence and Abhijit Muhurat are all slices of that local daylight, so each sits at a different clock time than it would in India. A large timezone offset can even move the tithi onto a different calendar date.

How these timings are calculated: planetary longitudes come from the Swiss Ephemeris, the same high-precision library used by professional astrology software, with the Lahiri (Chitrapaksha) ayanamsa — the sidereal reference adopted by India's official Rashtriya Panchang. Tithi changes when the Moon moves 12° ahead of the Sun; nakshatra changes as the Moon crosses each 13°20′ arc of the zodiac. These transition moments are universal, and we convert each one into Europe/Lisbon local time, then derive sunrise-dependent windows from Vila do Conde's own horizon. The full method is documented on our methodology page.

If you live in Vila do Conde or elsewhere in Porto, use this page the way a family priest would: check the tithi and nakshatra first, then choose your hour. Abhijit Muhurat (1:05 PM – 2:06 PM) is the day's most dependable auspicious window, while Rahu Kalam (5:23 PM – 7:16 PM) is best avoided for new beginnings. The choghadiya tables above divide Tuesday's daylight and night into auspicious and inauspicious spells — every figure already in Vila do Conde local time, with no conversion from IST required.
