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 Masuguru local time (Africa/Dar es Salaam).
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 Masuguru.
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 Masuguru at 6:43 AM and sets at 6:11 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.
A panchang is the traditional Hindu almanac that maps each day through five limbs — tithi (lunar day), nakshatra (the constellation the Moon occupies), yoga, karana and vara (weekday). This page carries the complete panchang for Masuguru, Mtwara for 18 June 2026: today the Shukla Paksha Chaturthi tithi prevails with the Moon in Pushya nakshatra, and every muhurat and kaal window below is worked out for Masuguru's own sky rather than copied from an Indian city's almanac.
City-specific calculation is not a nicety; it changes the answers. Masuguru sits at 11.37°S, 38.42°E in the Africa/Dar es Salaam timezone, so its sunrise, sunset and day length differ from Delhi's or Mumbai's. On 18 June 2026 the sun rises over Masuguru at 6:43 AM and sets at 6:11 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 Masuguru's actual daylight. Our methodology page explains every step.

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 Masuguru, Tanzania.
The daylight between Masuguru'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 Masuguru's sunrise and day length differ from India's, its Rahu Kalam falls at different clock times than in Indian cities.
Rahu Kalam in Masuguru on 18 June 2026 is from 1:53 PM – 3:19 PM Mtwara local time. It is computed from Masuguru's own sunrise and sunset — not India's — so it differs from Rahu Kalam in Indian cities.
The tithi is Shukla Paksha Chaturthi, until 4:31 PM local time. Tithi end times are converted to Masuguru's timezone (Africa/Dar es_Salaam).
All panchang timings depend on local sunrise and sunset. Masuguru (-11.37°, 38.42°) 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 Masuguru.
Abhijit Muhurat, the most auspicious window of the day, is 12:04 PM – 12:50 PM local time in Masuguru.
