Today's Tithi in Saint George
The tithi on 18 June 2026 is Shukla Paksha Chaturthi. 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 Saint George local time (America/Denver).
Today's Nakshatra in Saint George
The Moon is in Ashlesha 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 Saint George.
Today's Yoga in Saint George
Today's yoga is Harshana. 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 Saint George
On 18 June 2026 the sun rises in Saint George at 6:14 AM and sets at 8:56 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 Saint George
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 Saint George, Utah on 18 June 2026: the Shukla Paksha Chaturthi tithi is in force with the Moon travelling through Ashlesha nakshatra. Crucially, every muhurat and kaal below is derived from Saint George's own sunrise at 37.10°N, 113.58°W, not lifted from an India-time almanac.
The reason a generic almanac misleads is geometry. Saint George stands at 37.10°N, 113.58°W and runs on America/Denver time, so the Sun crosses its horizon on a schedule unlike any Indian city's. On 18 June 2026 the sun rises over Saint George at 6:14 AM and sets at 8:56 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 Saint George 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/Denver time and then compute Rahu Kalam, the choghadiya and the rest from Saint George's actual sunrise and sunset. See our methodology page for the full working.
For the Hindu community in Saint George and the wider Utah area, this page answers the practical questions: when to schedule a puja, griha pravesh, vehicle purchase, mundan or journey on Thursday, 18 June 2026. Abhijit Muhurat (1:06 PM – 2:05 PM) is the day's most dependable auspicious window, while Rahu Kalam (3:25 PM – 5:16 PM) is best avoided for new beginnings. For longer ceremonies, pick a favourable choghadiya from the tables above — all in Saint George 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 Saint George, United States.
How is Rahu Kalam calculated in Saint George?
The daylight between Saint George'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 Saint George'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 Saint George on 18 June 2026?
Rahu Kalam in Saint George on 18 June 2026 is from 3:25 PM – 5:16 PM Utah local time. It is computed from Saint George's own sunrise and sunset — not India's — so it differs from Rahu Kalam in Indian cities.
What is the tithi on 18 June 2026 in Saint George?
The tithi is Shukla Paksha Chaturthi, until 7:31 AM local time. Tithi end times are converted to Saint George's timezone (America/Denver).
Why is the panchang for Saint George different from India?
All panchang timings depend on local sunrise and sunset. Saint George (37.10°, -113.58°) 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 Saint George.
What is the shubh muhurat in Saint George on 18 June 2026?
Abhijit Muhurat, the most auspicious window of the day, is 1:06 PM – 2:05 PM local time in Saint George.
