Saint Fergus Panchang

About Panchang in Saint Fergus

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 Saint Fergus, Scotland on 19 June 2026: the day runs under the Shukla Paksha Panchami tithi with the Moon in Ashlesha nakshatra, and all auspicious and inauspicious windows are computed for Saint Fergus itself, not borrowed from a generic India-time table.

Here is why this page is computed for Saint Fergus and not merely translated from an Indian almanac: the panchang's machinery turns on local sunrise. At 57.56°N, 1.84°W on Europe/London time, Saint Fergus's day starts and ends at its own hours. On 19 June 2026 the sun rises over Saint Fergus at 4:07 AM and sets at 10:10 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 Saint Fergus's own horizon. The full method is documented on our methodology page.

If you live in Saint Fergus or elsewhere in Scotland, use this page the way a family priest would: check the tithi and nakshatra first, then choose your hour. Abhijit Muhurat (12:32 PM – 1:44 PM) is the day's most dependable auspicious window, while Rahu Kalam (10:53 AM – 1:08 PM) is best avoided for new beginnings. The choghadiya tables above divide Friday's daylight and night into auspicious and inauspicious spells — every figure already in Saint Fergus local time, with no conversion from IST required.
