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 Raj-amba every day.
What is the tithi today in Raj-amba?
Today (16 June 2026) the tithi in Raj-amba is Shukla Paksha Dvitiya, until 12:55 AM IST.
What time is Rahu Kaal in Raj-amba today?
Rahu Kaal in Raj-amba today is 3:17 PM – 4:58 PM IST. It is one-eighth of the local daylight between Raj-amba's own sunrise and sunset, so it differs slightly from city to city even within India.
What is the shubh muhurat in Raj-amba today?
Abhijit Muhurat, the most dependable auspicious window of the day, is 11:27 AM – 12:21 PM IST in Raj-amba 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 Raj-amba (22.63°N, 84.04°E) differs from other cities. That is why this page is computed for Raj-amba's own coordinates.
About Panchang in Raj-amba
The panchang — Sanskrit for "five limbs" — is the Hindu calendar that describes a day by its tithi (lunar day), nakshatra (lunar mansion), yoga, karana and vara (weekday). What you see here is the full panchang for Raj-amba, Chhattisgarh on 16 June 2026: the day runs under the Shukla Paksha Dvitiya tithi with the Moon in Ardra nakshatra, and all auspicious and inauspicious windows are computed for Raj-amba itself, not borrowed from a generic India-time table.
The reason a generic almanac misleads is geometry. Raj-amba stands at 22.63°N, 84.04°E and runs on Asia/Kolkata time, so the Sun crosses its horizon on a schedule unlike any Indian city's. On 16 June 2026 the sun rises over Raj-amba at 5:09 AM and sets at 6:40 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 Raj-amba 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 Raj-amba's actual sunrise and sunset. See our methodology page for the full working.
For the Hindu community in Raj-amba and the wider Chhattisgarh area, this page answers the practical questions: when to schedule a puja, griha pravesh, vehicle purchase, mundan or journey on Tuesday, 16 June 2026. Abhijit Muhurat (11:27 AM – 12:21 PM) is the day's most dependable auspicious window, while Rahu Kalam (3:17 PM – 4:58 PM) is best avoided for new beginnings. For longer ceremonies, pick a favourable choghadiya from the tables above — all in Raj-amba local time, so what you read is what your clock shows.
Today's Tithi in Raj-amba
The tithi on 16 June 2026 is Shukla Paksha Dvitiya. 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 Raj-amba local time (Asia/Kolkata).
Today's Nakshatra in Raj-amba
The Moon is in Ardra 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 Raj-amba.
Today's Yoga in Raj-amba
Today's yoga is Vriddhi. 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 Raj-amba
On 16 June 2026 the sun rises in Raj-amba at 5:09 AM and sets at 6:40 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.
