The tithi on 20 June 2026 is Shukla Paksha Shashthi. 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 Broughton Astley local time (Europe/London).
The Moon is in Magha 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 Broughton Astley.
Today's yoga is Vajra. 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 20 June 2026 the sun rises in Broughton Astley at 4:41 AM and sets at 9:31 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.
The five limbs of the panchang — tithi, nakshatra, yoga, karana and vara — have guided Hindu timekeeping for millennia, and this page works all five out specifically for Broughton Astley, England. On 20 June 2026 the day unfolds under the Shukla Paksha Shashthi tithi with the Moon in Magha nakshatra. Because the timings are tied to Broughton Astley's own horizon (52.53°N, 1.22°W), they differ from the figures an Indian city would show.
A panchang is only as accurate as the place it is cast for. Sitting at 52.53°N, 1.22°W on Europe/London time, Broughton Astley keeps its own daily rhythm, distinct from Delhi or Mumbai. On 20 June 2026 the sun rises over Broughton Astley at 4:41 AM and sets at 9:31 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 Europe/London time and derive the sunrise-linked windows from Broughton Astley's real horizon. Details live on our methodology page.
Diaspora households in Broughton Astley and the wider England area often face the hardest question last: what is the right time? On Saturday, 20 June 2026, this page settles it — for a puja, housewarming, naming, vehicle purchase or journey alike. Abhijit Muhurat (12:32 PM – 1:40 PM) is the day's most dependable auspicious window, while Rahu Kalam (8:54 AM – 11:00 AM) is best avoided for new beginnings. Use the choghadiya tables above to find a clear stretch for longer rituals; each timing already reflects Broughton Astley's own clock.
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 Broughton Astley, United Kingdom.
The daylight between Broughton Astley'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 Broughton Astley's sunrise and day length differ from India's, its Rahu Kalam falls at different clock times than in Indian cities.
Rahu Kalam in Broughton Astley on 20 June 2026 is from 8:54 AM – 11:00 AM England local time. It is computed from Broughton Astley's own sunrise and sunset — not India's — so it differs from Rahu Kalam in Indian cities.
The tithi is Shukla Paksha Shashthi, until 11:19 AM local time. Tithi end times are converted to Broughton Astley's timezone (Europe/London).
All panchang timings depend on local sunrise and sunset. Broughton Astley (52.53°, -1.22°) 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 Broughton Astley.
Abhijit Muhurat, the most auspicious window of the day, is 12:32 PM – 1:40 PM local time in Broughton Astley.
