Today's Tithi in Penrose
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 Penrose local time (America/Denver).
Today's Nakshatra in Penrose
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 Penrose.
Today's Yoga in Penrose
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 Penrose
On 16 June 2026 the sun rises in Penrose at 5:35 AM and sets at 8:26 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 Penrose
A panchang is the traditional Hindu almanac that maps each day through five limbs — tithi (lunar day), nakshatra (the constellation the Moon occupies), yoga, karana and vara (weekday). This page carries the complete panchang for Penrose, Colorado for 16 June 2026: today the Shukla Paksha Dvitiya tithi prevails with the Moon in Punarvasu nakshatra, and every muhurat and kaal window below is worked out for Penrose's own sky rather than copied from an Indian city's almanac.
Why does the city matter so much? Because nearly everything in a panchang is anchored to local sunrise. Penrose lies at 38.42°N, 105.02°W and keeps America/Denver time, so its days begin and end at different moments than any Indian city's. On 16 June 2026 the sun rises over Penrose at 5:35 AM and sets at 8:26 PM — figures no Indian city shares — and Rahu Kalam, Yamaganda, Gulika, the eight choghadiya periods and Abhijit Muhurat are all fractions of that local daylight. Reading an India-time panchang in Penrose would put every one of those windows at the wrong local hour — and across a timezone gap, even the tithi in force on a given date can change.
A word on accuracy: every figure here is computed, not transcribed. Sun and Moon longitudes come from the Swiss Ephemeris — the precision engine behind professional jyotish software — referenced to the Lahiri (Chitrapaksha) ayanamsa that India's Rashtriya Panchang adopts. The Moon gaining 12° on the Sun marks each new tithi; crossing the next 13°20′ arc marks each new nakshatra. We convert those universal moments to America/Denver time and then carve every sunrise-based window from Penrose's own daylight. The full method is on our methodology page.
For families in Penrose and across Colorado, this page turns the panchang into practical decisions for Tuesday, 16 June 2026: which hour suits a puja, a griha pravesh, a mundan, a new vehicle or setting out on a trip. Abhijit Muhurat (12:31 PM – 1:30 PM) is the day's most dependable auspicious window, while Rahu Kalam (4:43 PM – 6:34 PM) is best avoided for new beginnings. When a ceremony needs a longer stretch, pick a favourable choghadiya from the tables above — every entry is in Penrose local time, so no IST arithmetic is needed.
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 Penrose, United States.
How is Rahu Kalam calculated in Penrose?
The daylight between Penrose'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 Penrose'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 Penrose on 16 June 2026?
Rahu Kalam in Penrose on 16 June 2026 is from 4:43 PM – 6:34 PM Colorado local time. It is computed from Penrose'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 Penrose?
The tithi is Shukla Paksha Dvitiya, until 1:25 PM local time. Tithi end times are converted to Penrose's timezone (America/Denver).
Why is the panchang for Penrose different from India?
All panchang timings depend on local sunrise and sunset. Penrose (38.42°, -105.02°) 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 Penrose.
What is the shubh muhurat in Penrose on 16 June 2026?
Abhijit Muhurat, the most auspicious window of the day, is 12:31 PM – 1:30 PM local time in Penrose.
