Today's Tithi in Nikiski
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 Nikiski local time (America/Anchorage).
Today's Nakshatra in Nikiski
The Moon is in Punarvasu 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 Nikiski.
Today's Yoga in Nikiski
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 Nikiski
On 16 June 2026 the sun rises in Nikiski at 4:32 AM and sets at 11:39 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 Nikiski
Every traditional Hindu day is read through five limbs — tithi, nakshatra, yoga, karana and the weekday (vara) — which together make up the panchang, literally "five limbs". This page sets out all five for Nikiski, Alaska on 16 June 2026: the Shukla Paksha Dvitiya tithi is in force with the Moon travelling through Punarvasu nakshatra. Crucially, every muhurat and kaal below is derived from Nikiski's own sunrise at 60.69°N, 151.29°W, not lifted from an India-time almanac.
Location is not a detail in panchang work — it is the foundation. Nikiski, at 60.69°N, 151.29°W in the America/Anchorage zone, experiences a day that opens and closes on its own schedule rather than India's. On 16 June 2026 the sun rises over Nikiski at 4:32 AM and sets at 11:39 PM — figures no Indian city shares — and because Rahu Kalam, Yamaganda, Gulika, the choghadiya periods and Abhijit Muhurat are simply divisions of that local span of daylight, they fall at different clock times here. Even the prevailing tithi can shift across a timezone, since tithi boundaries are fixed worldwide moments that map to different local dates.
Accuracy here rests on observed astronomy. We take Sun and Moon longitudes from the Swiss Ephemeris and apply the Lahiri (Chitrapaksha) ayanamsa — the reference India's Rashtriya Panchang uses — so the results are drik-siddha rather than table-derived. A tithi turns over when the Moon advances another 12° past the Sun, a nakshatra when it steps into the next 13°20′ sector; we express those moments in America/Anchorage time and slice every sunrise-dependent period from Nikiski's own daylight. Each step is set out on our methodology page.
Treat this as your scheduling companion in Nikiski: before fixing a puja, griha pravesh, mundan, vehicle purchase or journey on Tuesday, 16 June 2026, read the tithi and nakshatra, then pick the hour. Abhijit Muhurat (1:27 PM – 2:44 PM) is the day's most dependable auspicious window, while Rahu Kalam (6:52 PM – 9:15 PM) is best avoided for new beginnings. The choghadiya tables above split the day and night of Tuesday into auspicious and inauspicious spells — every figure already converted to Nikiski 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 Nikiski, United States.
How is Rahu Kalam calculated in Nikiski?
The daylight between Nikiski'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 Nikiski'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 Nikiski on 16 June 2026?
Rahu Kalam in Nikiski on 16 June 2026 is from 6:52 PM – 9:15 PM Alaska local time. It is computed from Nikiski'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 Nikiski?
The tithi is Shukla Paksha Dvitiya, until 11:25 AM local time. Tithi end times are converted to Nikiski's timezone (America/Anchorage).
Why is the panchang for Nikiski different from India?
All panchang timings depend on local sunrise and sunset. Nikiski (60.69°, -151.29°) 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 Nikiski.
What is the shubh muhurat in Nikiski on 16 June 2026?
Abhijit Muhurat, the most auspicious window of the day, is 1:27 PM – 2:44 PM local time in Nikiski.
