Cotheridge Panchang

About Panchang in Cotheridge

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 Cotheridge, England on 17 June 2026 the sheet reads Shukla Paksha Tritiya tithi with the Moon in Punarvasu nakshatra. Every window further down is computed for Cotheridge's location (52.19°N, 2.31°W) rather than copied from a standard Indian-city table.

Here is why this page is computed for Cotheridge and not merely translated from an Indian almanac: the panchang's machinery turns on local sunrise. At 52.19°N, 2.31°W on Europe/London time, Cotheridge's day starts and ends at its own hours. On 17 June 2026 the sun rises over Cotheridge at 4:47 AM and sets at 9:33 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 Europe/London local time, then derive sunrise-dependent windows from Cotheridge's own horizon. The full method is documented on our methodology page.

If you live in Cotheridge or elsewhere in England, use this page the way a family priest would: check the tithi and nakshatra first, then choose your hour. Abhijit Muhurat (12:36 PM – 1:43 PM) is the day's most dependable auspicious window, while Rahu Kalam (1:10 PM – 3:15 PM) is best avoided for new beginnings. The choghadiya tables above divide Wednesday's daylight and night into auspicious and inauspicious spells — every figure already in Cotheridge local time, with no conversion from IST required.
