Today's Tithi in Weyers Cave
The tithi on 17 June 2026 is Shukla Paksha Tritiya. 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 Weyers Cave local time (America/New York).
Today's Nakshatra in Weyers Cave
The Moon is in Pushya 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 Weyers Cave.
Today's Yoga in Weyers Cave
Today's yoga is Dhruva. 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 Weyers Cave
On 17 June 2026 the sun rises in Weyers Cave at 5:51 AM and sets at 8:41 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 Weyers Cave
The five limbs of the panchang — tithi, nakshatra, yoga, karana and vara — have guided Hindu timekeeping for millennia, and this page works all five out specifically for Weyers Cave, Virginia. On 17 June 2026 the day unfolds under the Shukla Paksha Tritiya tithi with the Moon in Pushya nakshatra. Because the timings are tied to Weyers Cave's own horizon (38.29°N, 78.91°W), they differ from the figures an Indian city would show.
The reason a generic almanac misleads is geometry. Weyers Cave stands at 38.29°N, 78.91°W and runs on America/New York time, so the Sun crosses its horizon on a schedule unlike any Indian city's. On 17 June 2026 the sun rises over Weyers Cave at 5:51 AM and sets at 8:41 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 Weyers Cave 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/New York time and then compute Rahu Kalam, the choghadiya and the rest from Weyers Cave's actual sunrise and sunset. See our methodology page for the full working.
For the Hindu community in Weyers Cave and the wider Virginia area, this page answers the practical questions: when to schedule a puja, griha pravesh, vehicle purchase, mundan or journey on Wednesday, 17 June 2026. Abhijit Muhurat (12:47 PM – 1:46 PM) is the day's most dependable auspicious window, while Rahu Kalam (1:16 PM – 3:07 PM) is best avoided for new beginnings. For longer ceremonies, pick a favourable choghadiya from the tables above — all in Weyers Cave 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 Weyers Cave, United States.
How is Rahu Kalam calculated in Weyers Cave?
The daylight between Weyers Cave'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 Weyers Cave'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 Weyers Cave on 17 June 2026?
Rahu Kalam in Weyers Cave on 17 June 2026 is from 1:16 PM – 3:07 PM Virginia local time. It is computed from Weyers Cave's own sunrise and sunset — not India's — so it differs from Rahu Kalam in Indian cities.
What is the tithi on 17 June 2026 in Weyers Cave?
The tithi is Shukla Paksha Tritiya, until 12:11 PM local time. Tithi end times are converted to Weyers Cave's timezone (America/New York).
Why is the panchang for Weyers Cave different from India?
All panchang timings depend on local sunrise and sunset. Weyers Cave (38.29°, -78.91°) 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 Weyers Cave.
What is the shubh muhurat in Weyers Cave on 17 June 2026?
Abhijit Muhurat, the most auspicious window of the day, is 12:47 PM – 1:46 PM local time in Weyers Cave.
