Today's Tithi in Atlantic Highlands

The tithi on 19 June 2026 is Shukla Paksha Panchami. 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 Atlantic Highlands local time (America/New York).

Today's Nakshatra in Atlantic Highlands

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 Atlantic Highlands.

Today's Yoga in Atlantic Highlands

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.

Sunrise and Sunset in Atlantic Highlands

On 19 June 2026 the sun rises in Atlantic Highlands at 5:25 AM and sets at 8:29 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 Atlantic Highlands

A panchang answers a simple question — what does today favour? — through five limbs: tithi, nakshatra, yoga, karana and vara. This is the complete panchang for Atlantic Highlands, New Jersey on 19 June 2026, when the Shukla Paksha Panchami tithi prevails and the Moon sits in Magha nakshatra. Every auspicious and inauspicious window shown here is calculated from Atlantic Highlands's own sky at 40.41°N, 74.03°W, never recycled from a generic IST panchang.

The reason a generic almanac misleads is geometry. Atlantic Highlands stands at 40.41°N, 74.03°W and runs on America/New York time, so the Sun crosses its horizon on a schedule unlike any Indian city's. On 19 June 2026 the sun rises over Atlantic Highlands at 5:25 AM and sets at 8:29 PM — figures no Indian city shares — and Rahu Kalam, Yamaganda, Gulika, the eight choghadiya periods and Abhijit Muhurat are each cut from the interval between this local sunrise and sunset. Use IST figures in Atlantic Highlands and every window lands at the wrong moment — and over a wide enough longitude gap, the date's tithi itself can change.

Behind the timings on this page is a precise pipeline: Swiss Ephemeris longitudes for the Sun and Moon, adjusted by the Lahiri (Chitrapaksha) ayanamsa adopted in India's Rashtriya Panchang. The rule is simple — a tithi closes when the Moon is 12° further along than the Sun, a nakshatra when the Moon enters the next 13°20′ span. Those moments hold worldwide, so we translate each into America/New York time and then compute Rahu Kalam, the choghadiya and the rest from Atlantic Highlands's actual sunrise and sunset. See our methodology page for the full working.

For the Hindu community in Atlantic Highlands and the wider New Jersey area, this page answers the practical questions: when to schedule a puja, griha pravesh, vehicle purchase, mundan or journey on Friday, 19 June 2026. Abhijit Muhurat (12:27 PM – 1:27 PM) is the day's most dependable auspicious window, while Rahu Kalam (11:04 AM – 12:57 PM) is best avoided for new beginnings. For longer ceremonies, pick a favourable choghadiya from the tables above — all in Atlantic Highlands 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 Atlantic Highlands, United States.

How is Rahu Kalam calculated in Atlantic Highlands?

The daylight between Atlantic Highlands'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 Atlantic Highlands's sunrise and day length differ from India's, its Rahu Kalam falls at different clock times than in Indian cities.

What is the tithi on 19 June 2026 in Atlantic Highlands?

The tithi is Shukla Paksha Panchami, until 7:32 AM local time. Tithi end times are converted to Atlantic Highlands's timezone (America/New York).
