Kake Panchang

About Panchang in Kake

The five limbs of the panchang — tithi, nakshatra, yoga, karana and vara — have guided Hindu timekeeping for millennia, and this page works all five out specifically for Kake, Alaska. On 14 June 2026 the day unfolds under the Krishna Paksha Amavasya tithi with the Moon in Rohini nakshatra. Because the timings are tied to Kake's own horizon (56.98°N, 133.95°W), they differ from the figures an Indian city would show.

Here is why this page is computed for Kake and not merely translated from an Indian almanac: the panchang's machinery turns on local sunrise. At 56.98°N, 133.95°W on America/Sitka time, Kake's day starts and ends at its own hours. On 14 June 2026 the sun rises over Kake at 4:01 AM and sets at 9:50 PM — figures no Indian city shares — and the inauspicious periods — Rahu Kalam, Yamaganda, Gulika — along with the choghadiya sequence and Abhijit Muhurat are all slices of that local daylight, so each sits at a different clock time than it would in India. A large timezone offset can even move the tithi onto a different calendar date.

How these timings are calculated: planetary longitudes come from the Swiss Ephemeris, the same high-precision library used by professional astrology software, with the Lahiri (Chitrapaksha) ayanamsa — the sidereal reference adopted by India's official Rashtriya Panchang. Tithi changes when the Moon moves 12° ahead of the Sun; nakshatra changes as the Moon crosses each 13°20′ arc of the zodiac. These transition moments are universal, and we convert each one into America/Sitka local time, then derive sunrise-dependent windows from Kake's own horizon. The full method is documented on our methodology page.

If you live in Kake or elsewhere in Alaska, use this page the way a family priest would: check the tithi and nakshatra first, then choose your hour. Abhijit Muhurat (12:20 PM – 1:31 PM) is the day's most dependable auspicious window, while Rahu Kalam (7:37 PM – 9:50 PM) is best avoided for new beginnings. The choghadiya tables above divide Sunday's daylight and night into auspicious and inauspicious spells — every figure already in Kake local time, with no conversion from IST required.
