Laventille Panchang

About Panchang in Laventille

Think of the panchang as the Hindu day's instruction sheet: five limbs — tithi (lunar day), nakshatra (the Moon's mansion), yoga, karana and vara — that tell you what each day favours. For Laventille, San Juan/Laventille on 19 June 2026 the sheet reads Shukla Paksha Panchami tithi with the Moon in Magha nakshatra. Every window further down is computed for Laventille's location (10.65°N, 61.50°W) rather than copied from a standard Indian-city table.

Here is why this page is computed for Laventille and not merely translated from an Indian almanac: the panchang's machinery turns on local sunrise. At 10.65°N, 61.50°W on America/Port of Spain time, Laventille's day starts and ends at its own hours. On 19 June 2026 the sun rises over Laventille at 5:45 AM and sets at 6:29 PM — figures no Indian city shares — and the inauspicious periods — Rahu Kalam, Yamaganda, Gulika — along with the choghadiya sequence and Abhijit Muhurat are all slices of that local daylight, so each sits at a different clock time than it would in India. A large timezone offset can even move the tithi onto a different calendar date.

How these timings are calculated: planetary longitudes come from the Swiss Ephemeris, the same high-precision library used by professional astrology software, with the Lahiri (Chitrapaksha) ayanamsa — the sidereal reference adopted by India's official Rashtriya Panchang. Tithi changes when the Moon moves 12° ahead of the Sun; nakshatra changes as the Moon crosses each 13°20′ arc of the zodiac. These transition moments are universal, and we convert each one into America/Port of Spain local time, then derive sunrise-dependent windows from Laventille's own horizon. The full method is documented on our methodology page.

If you live in Laventille or elsewhere in San Juan/Laventille, use this page the way a family priest would: check the tithi and nakshatra first, then choose your hour. Abhijit Muhurat (11:42 AM – 12:32 PM) is the day's most dependable auspicious window, while Rahu Kalam (10:31 AM – 12:07 PM) is best avoided for new beginnings. The choghadiya tables above divide Friday's daylight and night into auspicious and inauspicious spells — every figure already in Laventille local time, with no conversion from IST required.
