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 Sarhachia every day.
Today (17 June 2026) the tithi in Sarhachia is Shukla Paksha Tritiya, until 9:41 PM IST.
Rahu Kaal in Sarhachia today is 11:51 AM – 1:34 PM IST. It is one-eighth of the local daylight between Sarhachia'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 11:24 AM – 12:19 PM IST in Sarhachia 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 Sarhachia (24.46°N, 84.78°E) differs from other cities. That is why this page is computed for Sarhachia's own coordinates.
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 Sarhachia, Jharkhand on 17 June 2026 the sheet reads Shukla Paksha Tritiya tithi with the Moon in Punarvasu nakshatra. Every window further down is computed for Sarhachia's location (24.46°N, 84.78°E) rather than copied from a standard Indian-city table.
Here is why this page is computed for Sarhachia and not merely translated from an Indian almanac: the panchang's machinery turns on local sunrise. At 24.46°N, 84.78°E on Asia/Kolkata time, Sarhachia's day starts and ends at its own hours. On 17 June 2026 the sun rises over Sarhachia at 5:02 AM and sets at 6:41 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 Sarhachia's own horizon. The full method is documented on our methodology page.
If you live in Sarhachia or elsewhere in Jharkhand, use this page the way a family priest would: check the tithi and nakshatra first, then choose your hour. Abhijit Muhurat (11:24 AM – 12:19 PM) is the day's most dependable auspicious window, while Rahu Kalam (11:51 AM – 1:34 PM) is best avoided for new beginnings. The choghadiya tables above divide Wednesday's daylight and night into auspicious and inauspicious spells — every figure already in Sarhachia local time, with no conversion from IST required.
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 Sarhachia 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 Sarhachia.
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 Sarhachia at 5:02 AM and sets at 6:41 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.
