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 Shekh Daulat every day.
What is the tithi today in Shekh Daulat?
Today (17 June 2026) the tithi in Shekh Daulat is Shukla Paksha Tritiya, until 9:41 PM IST.
What time is Rahu Kaal in Shekh Daulat today?
Rahu Kaal in Shekh Daulat today is 12:29 PM – 2:15 PM IST. It is one-eighth of the local daylight between Shekh Daulat's own sunrise and sunset, so it differs slightly from city to city even within India.
What is the shubh muhurat in Shekh Daulat today?
Abhijit Muhurat, the most dependable auspicious window of the day, is 12:01 PM – 12:57 PM IST in Shekh Daulat 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 Shekh Daulat (30.88°N, 75.43°E) differs from other cities. That is why this page is computed for Shekh Daulat's own coordinates.
About Panchang in Shekh Daulat
The panchang — Sanskrit for "five limbs" — is the Hindu calendar that describes a day by its tithi (lunar day), nakshatra (lunar mansion), yoga, karana and vara (weekday). What you see here is the full panchang for Shekh Daulat, Punjab on 17 June 2026: the day runs under the Shukla Paksha Tritiya tithi with the Moon in Punarvasu nakshatra, and all auspicious and inauspicious windows are computed for Shekh Daulat itself, not borrowed from a generic India-time table.
The reason a generic almanac misleads is geometry. Shekh Daulat stands at 30.88°N, 75.43°E and runs on Asia/Kolkata time, so the Sun crosses its horizon on a schedule unlike any Indian city's. On 17 June 2026 the sun rises over Shekh Daulat at 5:25 AM and sets at 7:33 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 Shekh Daulat 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 Shekh Daulat's actual sunrise and sunset. See our methodology page for the full working.
For the Hindu community in Shekh Daulat and the wider Punjab area, this page answers the practical questions: when to schedule a puja, griha pravesh, vehicle purchase, mundan or journey on Wednesday, 17 June 2026. Abhijit Muhurat (12:01 PM – 12:57 PM) is the day's most dependable auspicious window, while Rahu Kalam (12:29 PM – 2:15 PM) is best avoided for new beginnings. For longer ceremonies, pick a favourable choghadiya from the tables above — all in Shekh Daulat local time, so what you read is what your clock shows.
Today's Tithi in Shekh Daulat
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 Shekh Daulat local time (Asia/Kolkata).
Today's Nakshatra in Shekh Daulat
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 Shekh Daulat.
Today's Yoga in Shekh Daulat
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.
Sunrise and Sunset in Shekh Daulat
On 17 June 2026 the sun rises in Shekh Daulat at 5:25 AM and sets at 7:33 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.
