Today's Tithi in Madimba
The tithi on 17 June 2026 is Shukla Paksha Tritiya. 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 Madimba local time (Africa/Dar es Salaam).
Today's Nakshatra in Madimba
The Moon is in Punarvasu 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 Madimba.
Today's Yoga in Madimba
Today's yoga is Dhruva. 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 Madimba
On 17 June 2026 the sun rises in Madimba at 6:34 AM and sets at 6:05 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 Madimba
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 Madimba, Mtwara on 17 June 2026, when the Shukla Paksha Tritiya tithi prevails and the Moon sits in Punarvasu nakshatra. Every auspicious and inauspicious window shown here is calculated from Madimba's own sky at 10.40°S, 40.33°E, never recycled from a generic IST panchang.
City-specific calculation is not a nicety; it changes the answers. Madimba sits at 10.40°S, 40.33°E in the Africa/Dar es Salaam timezone, so its sunrise, sunset and day length differ from Delhi's or Mumbai's. On 17 June 2026 the sun rises over Madimba at 6:34 AM and sets at 6:05 PM — figures no Indian city shares — and since Rahu Kalam, Yamaganda, Gulika, choghadiya and Abhijit Muhurat are all carved out of the local interval between sunrise and sunset, each of those windows lands at a different clock time here than in India. Even the prevailing tithi on your calendar date can differ, because tithi boundaries fall at fixed moments worldwide that convert to different local dates across timezones.
The numbers on this page are drik-siddha — derived from observed planetary positions rather than older mean-motion tables. We compute Sun and Moon longitudes with the Swiss Ephemeris and apply the Lahiri (Chitrapaksha) ayanamsa used by the Indian government's Rashtriya Panchang. A tithi ends when the Moon gains a further 12° on the Sun, a nakshatra when the Moon crosses into the next 13°20′ segment; those instants are then expressed in Africa/Dar es Salaam time, and all sunrise-based periods are cut from Madimba's actual daylight. Our methodology page explains every step.

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 Madimba, Tanzania.
How is Rahu Kalam calculated in Madimba?
The daylight between Madimba'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 Madimba'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 Madimba on 17 June 2026?
Rahu Kalam in Madimba on 17 June 2026 is from 12:19 PM – 1:46 PM Mtwara local time. It is computed from Madimba's own sunrise and sunset — not India's — so it differs from Rahu Kalam in Indian cities.
What is the tithi on 17 June 2026 in Madimba?
The tithi is Shukla Paksha Tritiya, until 7:11 PM local time. Tithi end times are converted to Madimba's timezone (Africa/Dar es_Salaam).
Why is the panchang for Madimba different from India?
All panchang timings depend on local sunrise and sunset. Madimba (-10.40°, 40.33°) 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 Madimba.
What is the shubh muhurat in Madimba on 17 June 2026?
Abhijit Muhurat, the most auspicious window of the day, is 11:56 AM – 12:42 PM local time in Madimba.
