Today's Tithi in Kittery Point

The tithi on 16 June 2026 is Shukla Paksha Dvitiya. 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 Kittery Point local time (America/New York).

Today's Nakshatra in Kittery Point

The Moon is in Ardra 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 Kittery Point.

Today's Yoga in Kittery Point

Today's yoga is Vriddhi. 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 Kittery Point

On 16 June 2026 the sun rises in Kittery Point at 5:02 AM and sets at 8:24 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 Kittery Point

Think of the panchang as the Hindu day's instruction sheet: five limbs — tithi (lunar day), nakshatra (the Moon's mansion), yoga, karana and vara — that tell you what each day favours. For Kittery Point, Maine on 16 June 2026 the sheet reads Shukla Paksha Dvitiya tithi with the Moon in Ardra nakshatra. Every window further down is computed for Kittery Point's location (43.08°N, 70.71°W) rather than copied from a standard Indian-city table.

The reason a generic almanac misleads is geometry. Kittery Point stands at 43.08°N, 70.71°W and runs on America/New York time, so the Sun crosses its horizon on a schedule unlike any Indian city's. On 16 June 2026 the sun rises over Kittery Point at 5:02 AM and sets at 8:24 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 Kittery Point 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 Kittery Point's actual sunrise and sunset. See our methodology page for the full working.

For the Hindu community in Kittery Point and the wider Maine area, this page answers the practical questions: when to schedule a puja, griha pravesh, vehicle purchase, mundan or journey on Tuesday, 16 June 2026. Abhijit Muhurat (12:12 PM – 1:14 PM) is the day's most dependable auspicious window, while Rahu Kalam (4:34 PM – 6:29 PM) is best avoided for new beginnings. For longer ceremonies, pick a favourable choghadiya from the tables above — all in Kittery Point 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 Kittery Point, United States.

How is Rahu Kalam calculated in Kittery Point?

The daylight between Kittery Point'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 Kittery Point'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 Kittery Point on 16 June 2026?

Rahu Kalam in Kittery Point on 16 June 2026 is from 4:34 PM – 6:29 PM Maine local time. It is computed from Kittery Point's own sunrise and sunset — not India's — so it differs from Rahu Kalam in Indian cities.

What is the tithi on 16 June 2026 in Kittery Point?

The tithi is Shukla Paksha Dvitiya, until 3:25 PM local time. Tithi end times are converted to Kittery Point's timezone (America/New York).

Why is the panchang for Kittery Point different from India?

All panchang timings depend on local sunrise and sunset. Kittery Point (43.08°, -70.71°) 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 Kittery Point.

What is the shubh muhurat in Kittery Point on 16 June 2026?
