Today's Tithi in Kitama
The tithi on 15 June 2026 is Shukla Paksha Pratipada. 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 Kitama local time (Africa/Dar es Salaam).
Today's Nakshatra in Kitama
The Moon is in Mrigashira 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 Kitama.
Today's Yoga in Kitama
Today's yoga is Ganda. 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 Kitama
On 15 June 2026 the sun rises in Kitama at 6:36 AM and sets at 6:06 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.
About Panchang in Kitama
The panchang — Sanskrit for "five limbs" — is the Hindu calendar that describes a day by its tithi (lunar day), nakshatra (lunar mansion), yoga, karana and vara (weekday). What you see here is the full panchang for Kitama, Mtwara on 15 June 2026: the day runs under the Shukla Paksha Pratipada tithi with the Moon in Mrigashira nakshatra, and all auspicious and inauspicious windows are computed for Kitama itself, not borrowed from a generic India-time table.
A panchang is only as accurate as the place it is cast for. Sitting at 10.72°S, 39.73°E on Africa/Dar es Salaam time, Kitama keeps its own daily rhythm, distinct from Delhi or Mumbai. On 15 June 2026 the sun rises over Kitama at 6:36 AM and sets at 6:06 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 Africa/Dar es Salaam time and derive the sunrise-linked windows from Kitama's real horizon. Details live on our methodology page.
Diaspora households in Kitama and the wider Mtwara area often face the hardest question last: what is the right time? On Monday, 15 June 2026, this page settles it — for a puja, housewarming, naming, vehicle purchase or journey alike. Abhijit Muhurat (11:58 AM – 12:44 PM) is the day's most dependable auspicious window, while Rahu Kalam (8:02 AM – 9:29 AM) is best avoided for new beginnings. Use the choghadiya tables above to find a clear stretch for longer rituals; each timing already reflects Kitama's own clock.
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 from them derives the day's auspicious (muhurat) and inauspicious (Rahu Kalam, Yamaganda) periods. This page computes all of them for Kitama, Tanzania.
How is Rahu Kalam calculated in Kitama?
The daylight between Kitama's local sunrise and sunset is divided into eight equal parts, and one fixed part belongs to Rahu depending on the weekday (for example the 8th part on Sunday, the 2nd on Monday). Because Kitama's sunrise and day length differ from India's, its Rahu Kalam falls at different clock times than in Indian cities.
What time is Rahu Kalam in Kitama on 15 June 2026?
Rahu Kalam in Kitama on 15 June 2026 is from 8:02 AM – 9:29 AM Mtwara local time. It is computed from Kitama's own sunrise and sunset — not India's — so it differs from Rahu Kalam in Indian cities.
What is the tithi on 15 June 2026 in Kitama?
The tithi is Shukla Paksha Pratipada, until 2:03 AM local time. Tithi end times are converted to Kitama's timezone (Africa/Dar es_Salaam).
Why is the panchang for Kitama different from India?
All panchang timings depend on local sunrise and sunset. Kitama (-10.72°, 39.73°) has different sun times than India, so Rahu Kalam, choghadiya and muhurat windows shift — and because of the time difference, even the tithi prevailing on your calendar date can differ from India's. This page is computed specifically for Kitama.
What is the shubh muhurat in Kitama on 15 June 2026?
Abhijit Muhurat, the most auspicious window of the day, is 11:58 AM – 12:44 PM local time in Kitama.
