Today's Tithi in Painted Post
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 Painted Post local time (America/New York).
Today's Nakshatra in Painted Post
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 Painted Post.
Today's Yoga in Painted Post
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 Painted Post
On 14 June 2026 the sun rises in Painted Post at 5:31 AM and sets at 8:45 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 Painted Post
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 Painted Post, New York on 14 June 2026: the Krishna Paksha Amavasya tithi is in force with the Moon travelling through Rohini nakshatra. Crucially, every muhurat and kaal below is derived from Painted Post's own sunrise at 42.16°N, 77.09°W, not lifted from an India-time almanac.
Here is why this page is computed for Painted Post and not merely translated from an Indian almanac: the panchang's machinery turns on local sunrise. At 42.16°N, 77.09°W on America/New York time, Painted Post's day starts and ends at its own hours. On 14 June 2026 the sun rises over Painted Post at 5:31 AM and sets at 8:45 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/New York local time, then derive sunrise-dependent windows from Painted Post's own horizon. The full method is documented on our methodology page.
If you live in Painted Post or elsewhere in New York, use this page the way a family priest would: check the tithi and nakshatra first, then choose your hour. Abhijit Muhurat (12:38 PM – 1:39 PM) is the day's most dependable auspicious window, while Rahu Kalam (6:51 PM – 8:45 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 Painted Post local time, with no conversion from IST required.
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 Painted Post, United States.
How is Rahu Kalam calculated in Painted Post?
The daylight between Painted Post'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 Painted Post'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 Painted Post on 14 June 2026?
Rahu Kalam in Painted Post on 14 June 2026 is from 6:51 PM – 8:45 PM New York local time. It is computed from Painted Post'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 Painted Post?
The tithi is Krishna Paksha Amavasya, until 10:56 PM local time. Tithi end times are converted to Painted Post's timezone (America/New York).
Why is the panchang for Painted Post different from India?
All panchang timings depend on local sunrise and sunset. Painted Post (42.16°, -77.09°) 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 Painted Post.
