Today's Tithi in Rocky Top
The tithi on 20 June 2026 is Shukla Paksha Saptami. 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 Rocky Top local time (America/New York).
Today's Nakshatra in Rocky Top
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 Rocky Top.
Today's Yoga in Rocky Top
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 Rocky Top
On 20 June 2026 the sun rises in Rocky Top at 6:19 AM and sets at 8:57 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 Rocky Top
A panchang answers a simple question — what does today favour? — through five limbs: tithi, nakshatra, yoga, karana and vara. This is the complete panchang for Rocky Top, Tennessee on 20 June 2026, when the Shukla Paksha Saptami tithi prevails and the Moon sits in Purva Phalguni nakshatra. Every auspicious and inauspicious window shown here is calculated from Rocky Top's own sky at 36.22°N, 84.15°W, never recycled from a generic IST panchang.
Why does the city matter so much? Because nearly everything in a panchang is anchored to local sunrise. Rocky Top lies at 36.22°N, 84.15°W and keeps America/New York time, so its days begin and end at different moments than any Indian city's. On 20 June 2026 the sun rises over Rocky Top at 6:19 AM and sets at 8:57 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 Rocky Top 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/New York time and then carve every sunrise-based window from Rocky Top's own daylight. The full method is on our methodology page.
For families in Rocky Top and across Tennessee, this page turns the panchang into practical decisions for Saturday, 20 June 2026: which hour suits a puja, a griha pravesh, a mundan, a new vehicle or setting out on a trip. Abhijit Muhurat (1:09 PM – 2:07 PM) is the day's most dependable auspicious window, while Rahu Kalam (9:58 AM – 11:48 AM) 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 Rocky Top 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 Rocky Top, United States.
How is Rahu Kalam calculated in Rocky Top?
The daylight between Rocky Top'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 Rocky Top'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 Rocky Top on 20 June 2026?
Rahu Kalam in Rocky Top on 20 June 2026 is from 9:58 AM – 11:48 AM Tennessee local time. It is computed from Rocky Top'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 Rocky Top?
The tithi is Shukla Paksha Saptami, until 5:53 AM local time. Tithi end times are converted to Rocky Top's timezone (America/New York).
Why is the panchang for Rocky Top different from India?
All panchang timings depend on local sunrise and sunset. Rocky Top (36.22°, -84.15°) 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 Rocky Top.

Abhijit Muhurat, the most auspicious window of the day, is 1:09 PM – 2:07 PM local time in Rocky Top.
