Surna Tarja Panchang · 18 June 2026

About Panchang in Surna Tarja

Hindus have timed worship, travel and new beginnings with the panchang for centuries. It reads each day through five limbs — tithi, nakshatra, yoga, karana and vara — and this page presents all five for Surna Tarja, Uttarakhand on 18 June 2026. Today's reckoning: Shukla Paksha Chaturthi tithi, Moon in Pushya nakshatra. Every timing shown is calculated for Surna Tarja's own coordinates instead of being reused from an Indian city's panchang.

Location is not a detail in panchang work — it is the foundation. Surna Tarja, at 30.45°N, 77.88°E in the Asia/Kolkata zone, experiences a day that opens and closes on its own schedule rather than India's. On 18 June 2026 the sun rises over Surna Tarja at 5:16 AM and sets at 7:23 PM — figures no Indian city shares — and because Rahu Kalam, Yamaganda, Gulika, the choghadiya periods and Abhijit Muhurat are simply divisions of that local span of daylight, they fall at different clock times here. Even the prevailing tithi can shift across a timezone, since tithi boundaries are fixed worldwide moments that map to different local dates.

Accuracy here rests on observed astronomy. We take Sun and Moon longitudes from the Swiss Ephemeris and apply the Lahiri (Chitrapaksha) ayanamsa — the reference India's Rashtriya Panchang uses — so the results are drik-siddha rather than table-derived. A tithi turns over when the Moon advances another 12° past the Sun, a nakshatra when it steps into the next 13°20′ sector; we express those moments in Asia/Kolkata time and slice every sunrise-dependent period from Surna Tarja's own daylight. Each step is set out on our methodology page.

Treat this as your scheduling companion in Surna Tarja: before fixing a puja, griha pravesh, mundan, vehicle purchase or journey on Thursday, 18 June 2026, read the tithi and nakshatra, then pick the hour. Abhijit Muhurat (11:51 AM – 12:47 PM) is the day's most dependable auspicious window, while Rahu Kalam (2:05 PM – 3:51 PM) is best avoided for new beginnings. The choghadiya tables above split the day and night of Thursday into auspicious and inauspicious spells — every figure already converted to Surna Tarja local time, so what you read is what your clock shows.
