About Panchang in Shikargarh

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 Shikargarh, Uttar Pradesh 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 Shikargarh itself, not borrowed from a generic India-time table.

Here is why this page is computed for Shikargarh and not merely translated from an Indian almanac: the panchang's machinery turns on local sunrise. At 27.14°N, 83.23°E on Asia/Kolkata time, Shikargarh's day starts and ends at its own hours. On 17 June 2026 the sun rises over Shikargarh at 5:02 AM and sets at 6:53 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 Shikargarh's own horizon. The full method is documented on our methodology page.

If you live in Shikargarh or elsewhere in Uttar Pradesh, use this page the way a family priest would: check the tithi and nakshatra first, then choose your hour. Abhijit Muhurat (11:30 AM – 12:25 PM) is the day's most dependable auspicious window, while Rahu Kalam (11:58 AM – 1:41 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 Shikargarh local time, with no conversion from IST required.
