Plain View Panchang

About Panchang in Plain View

The panchang — Sanskrit for "five limbs" — is the Hindu calendar that describes a day by its tithi (lunar day), nakshatra (lunar mansion), yoga, karana and vara (weekday). What you see here is the full panchang for Plain View, North Carolina on 14 June 2026: the day runs under the Krishna Paksha Amavasya tithi with the Moon in Rohini nakshatra, and all auspicious and inauspicious windows are computed for Plain View itself, not borrowed from a generic India-time table.

Here is why this page is computed for Plain View and not merely translated from an Indian almanac: the panchang's machinery turns on local sunrise. At 35.25°N, 78.56°W on America/New York time, Plain View's day starts and ends at its own hours. On 14 June 2026 the sun rises over Plain View at 5:59 AM and sets at 8:30 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 Plain View's own horizon. The full method is documented on our methodology page.

If you live in Plain View or elsewhere in North Carolina, use this page the way a family priest would: check the tithi and nakshatra first, then choose your hour. Abhijit Muhurat (12:45 PM – 1:43 PM) is the day's most dependable auspicious window, while Rahu Kalam (6:41 PM – 8:30 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 Plain View local time, with no conversion from IST required.
