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 Rup-pura every day.
Today (20 June 2026) the tithi in Rup-pura is Shukla Paksha Shashthi, until 3:49 PM IST.
Rahu Kaal in Rup-pura today is 9:17 AM – 10:59 AM IST. It is one-eighth of the local daylight between Rup-pura'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 12:14 PM – 1:08 PM IST in Rup-pura 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 Rup-pura (24.15°N, 72.55°E) differs from other cities. That is why this page is computed for Rup-pura'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 Rup-pura, Gujarat for 20 June 2026: today the Shukla Paksha Shashthi tithi prevails with the Moon in Magha nakshatra, and every muhurat and kaal window below is worked out for Rup-pura's own sky rather than copied from an Indian city's almanac.
Here is why this page is computed for Rup-pura and not merely translated from an Indian almanac: the panchang's machinery turns on local sunrise. At 24.15°N, 72.55°E on Asia/Kolkata time, Rup-pura's day starts and ends at its own hours. On 20 June 2026 the sun rises over Rup-pura at 5:52 AM and sets at 7:30 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 Asia/Kolkata local time, then derive sunrise-dependent windows from Rup-pura's own horizon. The full method is documented on our methodology page.
If you live in Rup-pura or elsewhere in Gujarat, use this page the way a family priest would: check the tithi and nakshatra first, then choose your hour. Abhijit Muhurat (12:14 PM – 1:08 PM) is the day's most dependable auspicious window, while Rahu Kalam (9:17 AM – 10:59 AM) is best avoided for new beginnings. The choghadiya tables above divide Saturday's daylight and night into auspicious and inauspicious spells — every figure already in Rup-pura local time, with no conversion from IST required.
The tithi on 20 June 2026 is Shukla Paksha Shashthi. 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 Rup-pura local time (Asia/Kolkata).
The Moon is in Magha 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 Rup-pura.
Today's yoga is Vajra. 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 20 June 2026 the sun rises in Rup-pura at 5:52 AM and sets at 7:30 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.
