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 Somerahalli every day.
What is the tithi today in Somerahalli?
Today (18 June 2026) the tithi in Somerahalli is Shukla Paksha Chaturthi, until 7:01 PM IST.
What time is Rahu Kaal in Somerahalli today?
Rahu Kaal in Somerahalli today is 2:01 PM – 3:39 PM IST. It is one-eighth of the local daylight between Somerahalli's own sunrise and sunset, so it differs slightly from city to city even within India.
What is the shubh muhurat in Somerahalli today?
Abhijit Muhurat, the most dependable auspicious window of the day, is 11:58 AM – 12:50 PM IST in Somerahalli 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 Somerahalli (13.90°N, 76.61°E) differs from other cities. That is why this page is computed for Somerahalli's own coordinates.
About Panchang in Somerahalli
A panchang answers a simple question — what does today favour? — through five limbs: tithi, nakshatra, yoga, karana and vara. This is the complete panchang for Somerahalli, Karnataka on 18 June 2026, when the Shukla Paksha Chaturthi tithi prevails and the Moon sits in Pushya nakshatra. Every auspicious and inauspicious window shown here is calculated from Somerahalli's own sky at 13.90°N, 76.61°E, never recycled from a generic IST panchang.
The reason a generic almanac misleads is geometry. Somerahalli stands at 13.90°N, 76.61°E and runs on Asia/Kolkata time, so the Sun crosses its horizon on a schedule unlike any Indian city's. On 18 June 2026 the sun rises over Somerahalli at 5:56 AM and sets at 6:53 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 Somerahalli 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 Somerahalli's actual sunrise and sunset. See our methodology page for the full working.
For the Hindu community in Somerahalli and the wider Karnataka area, this page answers the practical questions: when to schedule a puja, griha pravesh, vehicle purchase, mundan or journey on Thursday, 18 June 2026. Abhijit Muhurat (11:58 AM – 12:50 PM) is the day's most dependable auspicious window, while Rahu Kalam (2:01 PM – 3:39 PM) is best avoided for new beginnings. For longer ceremonies, pick a favourable choghadiya from the tables above — all in Somerahalli local time, so what you read is what your clock shows.
Today's Tithi in Somerahalli
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 Somerahalli local time (Asia/Kolkata).
Today's Nakshatra in Somerahalli
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 Somerahalli.
Today's Yoga in Somerahalli
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 Somerahalli
On 18 June 2026 the sun rises in Somerahalli at 5:56 AM and sets at 6:53 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.
