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 Tadki every day.
Today (16 June 2026) the tithi in Tadki is Shukla Paksha Dvitiya, until 12:55 AM IST.
Rahu Kaal in Tadki today is 3:43 PM – 5:23 PM IST. It is one-eighth of the local daylight between Tadki'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 11:58 AM – 12:51 PM IST in Tadki 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 Tadki (18.53°N, 76.43°E) differs from other cities. That is why this page is computed for Tadki's own coordinates.
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 Tadki, Maharashtra 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 Tadki's own sky at 18.53°N, 76.43°E, never recycled from a generic IST panchang.
The reason a generic almanac misleads is geometry. Tadki stands at 18.53°N, 76.43°E and runs on Asia/Kolkata time, so the Sun crosses its horizon on a schedule unlike any Indian city's. On 16 June 2026 the sun rises over Tadki at 5:47 AM and sets at 7:02 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 Tadki 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 Tadki's actual sunrise and sunset. See our methodology page for the full working.
For the Hindu community in Tadki and the wider Maharashtra area, this page answers the practical questions: when to schedule a puja, griha pravesh, vehicle purchase, mundan or journey on Tuesday, 16 June 2026. Abhijit Muhurat (11:58 AM – 12:51 PM) is the day's most dependable auspicious window, while Rahu Kalam (3:43 PM – 5:23 PM) is best avoided for new beginnings. For longer ceremonies, pick a favourable choghadiya from the tables above — all in Tadki local time, so what you read is what your clock shows.
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 Tadki local time (Asia/Kolkata).
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 Tadki.
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.
On 16 June 2026 the sun rises in Tadki at 5:47 AM and sets at 7:02 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.
