Today's Tithi in Berkeley Heights
The tithi on 14 June 2026 is Krishna Paksha Amavasya. 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 Berkeley Heights local time (America/New York).
Today's Nakshatra in Berkeley Heights
The Moon is in Rohini 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 Berkeley Heights.
Today's Yoga in Berkeley Heights
Today's yoga is Shula. 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 Berkeley Heights
On 14 June 2026 the sun rises in Berkeley Heights at 5:26 AM and sets at 8:30 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 Berkeley Heights
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 Berkeley Heights, New Jersey on 14 June 2026, when the Krishna Paksha Amavasya tithi prevails and the Moon sits in Rohini nakshatra. Every auspicious and inauspicious window shown here is calculated from Berkeley Heights's own sky at 40.68°N, 74.44°W, never recycled from a generic IST panchang.
Why does the city matter so much? Because nearly everything in a panchang is anchored to local sunrise. Berkeley Heights lies at 40.68°N, 74.44°W and keeps America/New York time, so its days begin and end at different moments than any Indian city's. On 14 June 2026 the sun rises over Berkeley Heights at 5:26 AM and sets at 8:30 PM — figures no Indian city shares — and Rahu Kalam, Yamaganda, Gulika, the eight choghadiya periods and Abhijit Muhurat are all fractions of that local daylight. Reading an India-time panchang in Berkeley Heights would put every one of those windows at the wrong local hour — and across a timezone gap, even the tithi in force on a given date can change.
A word on accuracy: every figure here is computed, not transcribed. Sun and Moon longitudes come from the Swiss Ephemeris — the precision engine behind professional jyotish software — referenced to the Lahiri (Chitrapaksha) ayanamsa that India's Rashtriya Panchang adopts. The Moon gaining 12° on the Sun marks each new tithi; crossing the next 13°20′ arc marks each new nakshatra. We convert those universal moments to America/New York time and then carve every sunrise-based window from Berkeley Heights's own daylight. The full method is on our methodology page.
For families in Berkeley Heights and across New Jersey, this page turns the panchang into practical decisions for Sunday, 14 June 2026: which hour suits a puja, a griha pravesh, a mundan, a new vehicle or setting out on a trip. Abhijit Muhurat (12:28 PM – 1:28 PM) is the day's most dependable auspicious window, while Rahu Kalam (6:37 PM – 8:30 PM) is best avoided for new beginnings. When a ceremony needs a longer stretch, pick a favourable choghadiya from the tables above — every entry is in Berkeley Heights local time, so no IST arithmetic is needed.
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 Berkeley Heights, United States.
How is Rahu Kalam calculated in Berkeley Heights?
The daylight between Berkeley Heights'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 Berkeley Heights'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 Berkeley Heights on 14 June 2026?
Rahu Kalam in Berkeley Heights on 14 June 2026 is from 6:37 PM – 8:30 PM New Jersey local time. It is computed from Berkeley Heights's own sunrise and sunset — not India's — so it differs from Rahu Kalam in Indian cities.
What is the tithi on 14 June 2026 in Berkeley Heights?
The tithi is Krishna Paksha Amavasya, until 10:56 PM local time. Tithi end times are converted to Berkeley Heights's timezone (America/New York).
Why is the panchang for Berkeley Heights different from India?
All panchang timings depend on local sunrise and sunset. Berkeley Heights (40.68°, -74.44°) 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 Berkeley Heights.
