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 Rakh Litar every day.
What is the tithi today in Rakh Litar?
Today (18 June 2026) the tithi in Rakh Litar is Shukla Paksha Chaturthi, until 7:01 PM IST.
What time is Rahu Kaal in Rakh Litar today?
Rahu Kaal in Rakh Litar today is 2:19 PM – 4:07 PM IST. It is one-eighth of the local daylight between Rakh Litar's own sunrise and sunset, so it differs slightly from city to city even within India.
What is the shubh muhurat in Rakh Litar today?
Abhijit Muhurat, the most dependable auspicious window of the day, is 12:02 PM – 12:59 PM IST in Rakh Litar 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 Rakh Litar (33.81°N, 75.03°E) differs from other cities. That is why this page is computed for Rakh Litar's own coordinates.
About Panchang in Rakh Litar
Think of the panchang as the Hindu day's instruction sheet: five limbs — tithi (lunar day), nakshatra (the Moon's mansion), yoga, karana and vara — that tell you what each day favours. For Rakh Litar, Jammu and Kashmir on 18 June 2026 the sheet reads Shukla Paksha Chaturthi tithi with the Moon in Pushya nakshatra. Every window further down is computed for Rakh Litar's location (33.81°N, 75.03°E) rather than copied from a standard Indian-city table.
The reason a generic almanac misleads is geometry. Rakh Litar stands at 33.81°N, 75.03°E and runs on Asia/Kolkata time, so the Sun crosses its horizon on a schedule unlike any Indian city's. On 18 June 2026 the sun rises over Rakh Litar at 5:19 AM and sets at 7:43 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 Rakh Litar 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 Rakh Litar's actual sunrise and sunset. See our methodology page for the full working.
For the Hindu community in Rakh Litar and the wider Jammu and Kashmir area, this page answers the practical questions: when to schedule a puja, griha pravesh, vehicle purchase, mundan or journey on Thursday, 18 June 2026. Abhijit Muhurat (12:02 PM – 12:59 PM) is the day's most dependable auspicious window, while Rahu Kalam (2:19 PM – 4:07 PM) is best avoided for new beginnings. For longer ceremonies, pick a favourable choghadiya from the tables above — all in Rakh Litar local time, so what you read is what your clock shows.
Today's Tithi in Rakh Litar
The tithi on 18 June 2026 is Shukla Paksha Chaturthi. 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 Rakh Litar local time (Asia/Kolkata).
Today's Nakshatra in Rakh Litar
The Moon is in Pushya 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 Rakh Litar.
Today's Yoga in Rakh Litar
Today's yoga is Vyaghata. 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 Rakh Litar
On 18 June 2026 the sun rises in Rakh Litar at 5:19 AM and sets at 7:43 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.
