Today's Tithi in Halifax
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 Halifax local time (America/New York).
Today's Nakshatra in Halifax
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 Halifax.
Today's Yoga in Halifax
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 Halifax
On 14 June 2026 the sun rises in Halifax at 5:07 AM and sets at 8:20 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 Halifax
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 Halifax, Massachusetts on 14 June 2026: the day runs under the Krishna Paksha Amavasya tithi with the Moon in Rohini nakshatra, and all auspicious and inauspicious windows are computed for Halifax itself, not borrowed from a generic India-time table.
The reason a generic almanac misleads is geometry. Halifax stands at 41.99°N, 70.86°W and runs on America/New York time, so the Sun crosses its horizon on a schedule unlike any Indian city's. On 14 June 2026 the sun rises over Halifax at 5:07 AM and sets at 8:20 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 Halifax 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 Halifax's actual sunrise and sunset. See our methodology page for the full working.
For the Hindu community in Halifax and the wider Massachusetts area, this page answers the practical questions: when to schedule a puja, griha pravesh, vehicle purchase, mundan or journey on Sunday, 14 June 2026. Abhijit Muhurat (12:13 PM – 1:14 PM) is the day's most dependable auspicious window, while Rahu Kalam (6:26 PM – 8:20 PM) is best avoided for new beginnings. For longer ceremonies, pick a favourable choghadiya from the tables above — all in Halifax 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 Halifax, United States.
How is Rahu Kalam calculated in Halifax?
The daylight between Halifax'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 Halifax'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 Halifax on 14 June 2026?
Rahu Kalam in Halifax on 14 June 2026 is from 6:26 PM – 8:20 PM Massachusetts local time. It is computed from Halifax'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 Halifax?
The tithi is Krishna Paksha Amavasya, until 10:56 PM local time. Tithi end times are converted to Halifax's timezone (America/New York).
Why is the panchang for Halifax different from India?
All panchang timings depend on local sunrise and sunset. Halifax (41.99°, -70.86°) 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 Halifax.
What is the shubh muhurat in Halifax on 14 June 2026?
Abhijit Muhurat, the most auspicious window of the day, is 12:13 PM – 1:14 PM local time in Halifax.
