Today's Tithi in North Haledon
The tithi on 20 June 2026 is Shukla Paksha Shashthi. 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 North Haledon local time (America/New York).
Today's Nakshatra in North Haledon
The Moon is in Purva Phalguni 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 North Haledon.
Today's Yoga in North Haledon
Today's yoga is Siddhi. 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 North Haledon
On 20 June 2026 the sun rises in North Haledon at 5:24 AM and sets at 8:32 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 North Haledon
Hindus have timed worship, travel and new beginnings with the panchang for centuries. It reads each day through five limbs — tithi, nakshatra, yoga, karana and vara — and this page presents all five for North Haledon, New Jersey on 20 June 2026. Today's reckoning: Shukla Paksha Shashthi tithi, Moon in Purva Phalguni nakshatra. Every timing shown is calculated for North Haledon's own coordinates instead of being reused from an Indian city's panchang.
The reason a generic almanac misleads is geometry. North Haledon stands at 40.96°N, 74.19°W and runs on America/New York time, so the Sun crosses its horizon on a schedule unlike any Indian city's. On 20 June 2026 the sun rises over North Haledon at 5:24 AM and sets at 8:32 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 North Haledon 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 North Haledon's actual sunrise and sunset. See our methodology page for the full working.
For the Hindu community in North Haledon and the wider New Jersey area, this page answers the practical questions: when to schedule a puja, griha pravesh, vehicle purchase, mundan or journey on Saturday, 20 June 2026. Abhijit Muhurat (12:28 PM – 1:28 PM) is the day's most dependable auspicious window, while Rahu Kalam (9:11 AM – 11:05 AM) is best avoided for new beginnings. For longer ceremonies, pick a favourable choghadiya from the tables above — all in North Haledon 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 North Haledon, United States.
How is Rahu Kalam calculated in North Haledon?
The daylight between North Haledon'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 North Haledon'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 North Haledon on 20 June 2026?
Rahu Kalam in North Haledon on 20 June 2026 is from 9:11 AM – 11:05 AM New Jersey local time. It is computed from North Haledon's own sunrise and sunset — not India's — so it differs from Rahu Kalam in Indian cities.
What is the tithi on 20 June 2026 in North Haledon?
The tithi is Shukla Paksha Shashthi, until 6:19 AM local time. Tithi end times are converted to North Haledon's timezone (America/New York).
Why is the panchang for North Haledon different from India?
All panchang timings depend on local sunrise and sunset. North Haledon (40.96°, -74.19°) 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 North Haledon.
What is the shubh muhurat in North Haledon on 20 June 2026?
Abhijit Muhurat, the most auspicious window of the day, is 12:28 PM – 1:28 PM local time in North Haledon.
