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 Rajgatta every day.
Today (17 June 2026) the tithi in Rajgatta is Shukla Paksha Tritiya, until 9:41 PM IST.
Rahu Kaal in Rajgatta today is 12:10 PM – 1:50 PM IST. It is one-eighth of the local daylight between Rajgatta's own sunrise and sunset, so it differs slightly from city to city even within India.
Abhijit Muhurat, the most dependable auspicious window of the day, is 11:44 AM – 12:37 PM IST in Rajgatta today. For longer ceremonies, also check the auspicious choghadiya periods listed on this page.
Sunrise-based periods — Rahu Kaal, Yamaganda, Gulika, choghadiya, Abhijit Muhurat — are fractions of the local day length, and sunrise in Rajgatta (20.23°N, 80.06°E) differs from other cities. That is why this page is computed for Rajgatta's own coordinates.
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 Rajgatta, Maharashtra for 17 June 2026: today the Shukla Paksha Tritiya tithi prevails with the Moon in Punarvasu nakshatra, and every muhurat and kaal window below is worked out for Rajgatta's own sky rather than copied from an Indian city's almanac.
Location is not a detail in panchang work — it is the foundation. Rajgatta, at 20.23°N, 80.06°E in the Asia/Kolkata zone, experiences a day that opens and closes on its own schedule rather than India's. On 17 June 2026 the sun rises over Rajgatta at 5:30 AM and sets at 6:51 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/Kolkata time and slice every sunrise-dependent period from Rajgatta's own daylight. Each step is set out on our methodology page.
Treat this as your scheduling companion in Rajgatta: before fixing a puja, griha pravesh, mundan, vehicle purchase or journey on Wednesday, 17 June 2026, read the tithi and nakshatra, then pick the hour. Abhijit Muhurat (11:44 AM – 12:37 PM) is the day's most dependable auspicious window, while Rahu Kalam (12:10 PM – 1:50 PM) is best avoided for new beginnings. The choghadiya tables above split the day and night of Wednesday into auspicious and inauspicious spells — every figure already converted to Rajgatta local time, so what you read is what your clock shows.
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 Rajgatta local time (Asia/Kolkata).
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 Rajgatta.
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.
On 17 June 2026 the sun rises in Rajgatta at 5:30 AM and sets at 6:51 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.
