Today's Tithi in Apple Valley
The tithi on 20 June 2026 is Shukla Paksha Saptami. 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 Apple Valley local time (America/Chicago).
Today's Nakshatra in Apple Valley
The Moon is in Purva Phalguni 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 Apple Valley.
Today's Yoga in Apple Valley
Today's yoga is Siddhi. 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 Apple Valley
On 20 June 2026 the sun rises in Apple Valley at 5:27 AM and sets at 9:02 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 Apple Valley
Every traditional Hindu day is read through five limbs — tithi, nakshatra, yoga, karana and the weekday (vara) — which together make up the panchang, literally "five limbs". This page sets out all five for Apple Valley, Minnesota on 20 June 2026: the Shukla Paksha Saptami tithi is in force with the Moon travelling through Purva Phalguni nakshatra. Crucially, every muhurat and kaal below is derived from Apple Valley's own sunrise at 44.73°N, 93.22°W, not lifted from an India-time almanac.
Location is not a detail in panchang work — it is the foundation. Apple Valley, at 44.73°N, 93.22°W in the America/Chicago zone, experiences a day that opens and closes on its own schedule rather than India's. On 20 June 2026 the sun rises over Apple Valley at 5:27 AM and sets at 9:02 PM — figures no Indian city shares — and because Rahu Kalam, Yamaganda, Gulika, the choghadiya periods and Abhijit Muhurat are simply divisions of that local span of daylight, they fall at different clock times here. Even the prevailing tithi can shift across a timezone, since tithi boundaries are fixed worldwide moments that map to different local dates.
Accuracy here rests on observed astronomy. We take Sun and Moon longitudes from the Swiss Ephemeris and apply the Lahiri (Chitrapaksha) ayanamsa — the reference India's Rashtriya Panchang uses — so the results are drik-siddha rather than table-derived. A tithi turns over when the Moon advances another 12° past the Sun, a nakshatra when it steps into the next 13°20′ sector; we express those moments in America/Chicago time and slice every sunrise-dependent period from Apple Valley's own daylight. Each step is set out on our methodology page.
Treat this as your scheduling companion in Apple Valley: before fixing a puja, griha pravesh, mundan, vehicle purchase or journey on Saturday, 20 June 2026, read the tithi and nakshatra, then pick the hour. Abhijit Muhurat (12:43 PM – 1:45 PM) is the day's most dependable auspicious window, while Rahu Kalam (9:20 AM – 11:17 AM) is best avoided for new beginnings. The choghadiya tables above split the day and night of Saturday into auspicious and inauspicious spells — every figure already converted to Apple Valley local time, so what you read is what your clock shows.
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 Apple Valley, United States.
How is Rahu Kalam calculated in Apple Valley?
The daylight between Apple Valley'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 Apple Valley'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 Apple Valley on 20 June 2026?
Rahu Kalam in Apple Valley on 20 June 2026 is from 9:20 AM – 11:17 AM Minnesota local time. It is computed from Apple Valley's own sunrise and sunset — not India's — so it differs from Rahu Kalam in Indian cities.
What is the tithi on 20 June 2026 in Apple Valley?
The tithi is Shukla Paksha Saptami, until 4:53 AM local time. Tithi end times are converted to Apple Valley's timezone (America/Chicago).

All panchang timings depend on local sunrise and sunset. Apple Valley (44.73°, -93.22°) 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.
