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 Sungtan every day.
What is the tithi today in Sungtan?
Today (16 June 2026) the tithi in Sungtan is Shukla Paksha Dvitiya, until 12:55 AM IST.
What time is Rahu Kaal in Sungtan today?
Rahu Kaal in Sungtan today is 3:42 PM – 5:20 PM IST. It is one-eighth of the local daylight between Sungtan's own sunrise and sunset, so it differs slightly from city to city even within India.
What is the shubh muhurat in Sungtan today?
Abhijit Muhurat, the most dependable auspicious window of the day, is 11:58 AM – 12:51 PM IST in Sungtan 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 Sungtan (16.88°N, 76.40°E) differs from other cities. That is why this page is computed for Sungtan's own coordinates.
About Panchang in Sungtan
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 Sungtan, Karnataka on 16 June 2026, when the Shukla Paksha Dvitiya tithi prevails and the Moon sits in Ardra nakshatra. Every auspicious and inauspicious window shown here is calculated from Sungtan's own sky at 16.88°N, 76.40°E, never recycled from a generic IST panchang.
Why does the city matter so much? Because nearly everything in a panchang is anchored to local sunrise. Sungtan lies at 16.88°N, 76.40°E and keeps Asia/Kolkata time, so its days begin and end at different moments than any Indian city's. On 16 June 2026 the sun rises over Sungtan at 5:51 AM and sets at 6:59 PM — figures no Indian city shares — and Rahu Kalam, Yamaganda, Gulika, the eight choghadiya periods and Abhijit Muhurat are all fractions of that local daylight. Reading an India-time panchang in Sungtan would put every one of those windows at the wrong local hour — and across a timezone gap, even the tithi in force on a given date can change.
A word on accuracy: every figure here is computed, not transcribed. Sun and Moon longitudes come from the Swiss Ephemeris — the precision engine behind professional jyotish software — referenced to the Lahiri (Chitrapaksha) ayanamsa that India's Rashtriya Panchang adopts. The Moon gaining 12° on the Sun marks each new tithi; crossing the next 13°20′ arc marks each new nakshatra. We convert those universal moments to Asia/Kolkata time and then carve every sunrise-based window from Sungtan's own daylight. The full method is on our methodology page.
For families in Sungtan and across Karnataka, this page turns the panchang into practical decisions for Tuesday, 16 June 2026: which hour suits a puja, a griha pravesh, a mundan, a new vehicle or setting out on a trip. Abhijit Muhurat (11:58 AM – 12:51 PM) is the day's most dependable auspicious window, while Rahu Kalam (3:42 PM – 5:20 PM) is best avoided for new beginnings. When a ceremony needs a longer stretch, pick a favourable choghadiya from the tables above — every entry is in Sungtan local time, so no IST arithmetic is needed.
Today's Tithi in Sungtan
The tithi on 16 June 2026 is Shukla Paksha Dvitiya. 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 Sungtan local time (Asia/Kolkata).
Today's Nakshatra in Sungtan
The Moon is in Ardra 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 Sungtan.
Today's Yoga in Sungtan
Today's yoga is Vriddhi. 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 Sungtan
On 16 June 2026 the sun rises in Sungtan at 5:51 AM and sets at 6:59 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.
