Today's Tithi in Capitola
The tithi on 15 June 2026 is Shukla Paksha Pratipada. 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 Capitola local time (America/Los Angeles).
Today's Nakshatra in Capitola
The Moon is in Mrigashira 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 Capitola.
Today's Yoga in Capitola
Today's yoga is Ganda. 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 Capitola
On 15 June 2026 the sun rises in Capitola at 5:47 AM and sets at 8:28 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 Capitola
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 Capitola, California on 15 June 2026, when the Shukla Paksha Pratipada tithi prevails and the Moon sits in Mrigashira nakshatra. Every auspicious and inauspicious window shown here is calculated from Capitola's own sky at 36.98°N, 121.95°W, never recycled from a generic IST panchang.
City-specific calculation is not a nicety; it changes the answers. Capitola sits at 36.98°N, 121.95°W in the America/Los Angeles timezone, so its sunrise, sunset and day length differ from Delhi's or Mumbai's. On 15 June 2026 the sun rises over Capitola at 5:47 AM and sets at 8:28 PM — figures no Indian city shares — and since Rahu Kalam, Yamaganda, Gulika, choghadiya and Abhijit Muhurat are all carved out of the local interval between sunrise and sunset, each of those windows lands at a different clock time here than in India. Even the prevailing tithi on your calendar date can differ, because tithi boundaries fall at fixed moments worldwide that convert to different local dates across timezones.
The numbers on this page are drik-siddha — derived from observed planetary positions rather than older mean-motion tables. We compute Sun and Moon longitudes with the Swiss Ephemeris and apply the Lahiri (Chitrapaksha) ayanamsa used by the Indian government's Rashtriya Panchang. A tithi ends when the Moon gains a further 12° on the Sun, a nakshatra when the Moon crosses into the next 13°20′ segment; those instants are then expressed in America/Los Angeles time, and all sunrise-based periods are cut from Capitola's actual daylight. Our methodology page explains every step.

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 Capitola, United States.
How is Rahu Kalam calculated in Capitola?
The daylight between Capitola'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 Capitola'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 Capitola on 15 June 2026?
Rahu Kalam in Capitola on 15 June 2026 is from 7:38 AM – 9:28 AM California local time. It is computed from Capitola's own sunrise and sunset — not India's — so it differs from Rahu Kalam in Indian cities.
What is the tithi on 15 June 2026 in Capitola?
The tithi is Shukla Paksha Pratipada, until 4:03 PM local time. Tithi end times are converted to Capitola's timezone (America/Los Angeles).
Why is the panchang for Capitola different from India?
All panchang timings depend on local sunrise and sunset. Capitola (36.98°, -121.95°) 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 Capitola.
What is the shubh muhurat in Capitola on 15 June 2026?
Abhijit Muhurat, the most auspicious window of the day, is 12:39 PM – 1:37 PM local time in Capitola.
