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 Rayasamudram every day.
What is the tithi today in Rayasamudram?
Today (18 June 2026) the tithi in Rayasamudram is Shukla Paksha Chaturthi, until 7:01 PM IST.
What time is Rahu Kaal in Rayasamudram today?
Rahu Kaal in Rayasamudram today is 1:51 PM – 3:27 PM IST. It is one-eighth of the local daylight between Rayasamudram's own sunrise and sunset, so it differs slightly from city to city even within India.
What is the shubh muhurat in Rayasamudram today?
Abhijit Muhurat, the most dependable auspicious window of the day, is 11:49 AM – 12:41 PM IST in Rayasamudram 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 Rayasamudram (12.00°N, 78.95°E) differs from other cities. That is why this page is computed for Rayasamudram's own coordinates.
About Panchang in Rayasamudram
Hindus have timed worship, travel and new beginnings with the panchang for centuries. It reads each day through five limbs — tithi, nakshatra, yoga, karana and vara — and this page presents all five for Rayasamudram, Tamil Nadu on 18 June 2026. Today's reckoning: Shukla Paksha Chaturthi tithi, Moon in Pushya nakshatra. Every timing shown is calculated for Rayasamudram's own coordinates instead of being reused from an Indian city's panchang.
City-specific calculation is not a nicety; it changes the answers. Rayasamudram sits at 12.00°N, 78.95°E in the Asia/Kolkata timezone, so its sunrise, sunset and day length differ from Delhi's or Mumbai's. On 18 June 2026 the sun rises over Rayasamudram at 5:50 AM and sets at 6:40 PM — figures no Indian city shares — and since Rahu Kalam, Yamaganda, Gulika, choghadiya and Abhijit Muhurat are all carved out of the local interval between sunrise and sunset, each of those windows lands at a different clock time here than in India. Even the prevailing tithi on your calendar date can differ, because tithi boundaries fall at fixed moments worldwide that convert to different local dates across timezones.
The numbers on this page are drik-siddha — derived from observed planetary positions rather than older mean-motion tables. We compute Sun and Moon longitudes with the Swiss Ephemeris and apply the Lahiri (Chitrapaksha) ayanamsa used by the Indian government's Rashtriya Panchang. A tithi ends when the Moon gains a further 12° on the Sun, a nakshatra when the Moon crosses into the next 13°20′ segment; those instants are then expressed in Asia/Kolkata time, and all sunrise-based periods are cut from Rayasamudram's actual daylight. Our methodology page explains every step.

Whether it is a puja, griha pravesh, naming ceremony, vehicle purchase or the start of a journey, the day's structure is laid out for you. Abhijit Muhurat (11:49 AM – 12:41 PM) is the day's most dependable auspicious window, while Rahu Kalam (1:51 PM – 3:27 PM) is best avoided for new beginnings. The choghadiya tables above break Thursday into favourable and unfavourable spells — all already in Rayasamudram local time.
Today's Tithi in Rayasamudram
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 Rayasamudram local time (Asia/Kolkata).
Today's Nakshatra in Rayasamudram
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 Rayasamudram.
Today's Yoga in Rayasamudram
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 Rayasamudram
On 18 June 2026 the sun rises in Rayasamudram at 5:50 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.
