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 Tabasura every day.
Today (18 June 2026) the tithi in Tabasura is Shukla Paksha Chaturthi, until 7:01 PM IST.
Rahu Kaal in Tabasura today is 1:28 PM – 3:09 PM IST. It is one-eighth of the local daylight between Tabasura's own sunrise and sunset, so it differs slightly from city to city even within India.
Abhijit Muhurat, the most dependable auspicious window of the day, is 11:20 AM – 12:14 PM IST in Tabasura today. For longer ceremonies, also check the auspicious choghadiya periods listed on this page.
Sunrise-based periods — Rahu Kaal, Yamaganda, Gulika, choghadiya, Abhijit Muhurat — are fractions of the local day length, and sunrise in Tabasura (21.67°N, 85.93°E) differs from other cities. That is why this page is computed for Tabasura's own coordinates.
The five limbs of the panchang — tithi, nakshatra, yoga, karana and vara — have guided Hindu timekeeping for millennia, and this page works all five out specifically for Tabasura, Odisha. On 18 June 2026 the day unfolds under the Shukla Paksha Chaturthi tithi with the Moon in Pushya nakshatra. Because the timings are tied to Tabasura's own horizon (21.67°N, 85.93°E), they differ from the figures an Indian city would show.
A panchang is only as accurate as the place it is cast for. Sitting at 21.67°N, 85.93°E on Asia/Kolkata time, Tabasura keeps its own daily rhythm, distinct from Delhi or Mumbai. On 18 June 2026 the sun rises over Tabasura at 5:03 AM and sets at 6:31 PM — figures no Indian city shares — and every sunrise-bound window — Rahu Kalam, Yamaganda, Gulika, the choghadiya spells and Abhijit Muhurat — is measured off that local daylight. Borrow an IST table here and each window slips to the wrong hour; widen the gap enough and the very tithi on your date can differ.
Where do these timings come from? Planetary positions are read from the Swiss Ephemeris, the same high-precision dataset used by leading astrology programs, and corrected with the Lahiri (Chitrapaksha) ayanamsa — the sidereal standard of India's official Rashtriya Panchang. Tithi advances each time the Moon pulls 12° further ahead of the Sun; nakshatra advances as the Moon enters the next 13°20′ division. These instants are universal; we render each in Asia/Kolkata time and derive the sunrise-linked windows from Tabasura's real horizon. Details live on our methodology page.
Diaspora households in Tabasura and the wider Odisha area often face the hardest question last: what is the right time? On Thursday, 18 June 2026, this page settles it — for a puja, housewarming, naming, vehicle purchase or journey alike. Abhijit Muhurat (11:20 AM – 12:14 PM) is the day's most dependable auspicious window, while Rahu Kalam (1:28 PM – 3:09 PM) is best avoided for new beginnings. Use the choghadiya tables above to find a clear stretch for longer rituals; each timing already reflects Tabasura's own clock.
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 Tabasura local time (Asia/Kolkata).
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 Tabasura.
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.
On 18 June 2026 the sun rises in Tabasura at 5:03 AM and sets at 6:31 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.
