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 derives from them the day's auspicious and inauspicious periods. This page computes all of them for Vanjipuram every day.
What is the tithi today in Vanjipuram?
Today (16 June 2026) the tithi in Vanjipuram is Shukla Paksha Dvitiya, until 12:55 AM IST.
What time is Rahu Kaal in Vanjipuram today?
Rahu Kaal in Vanjipuram today is 3:32 PM – 5:08 PM IST. It is one-eighth of the local daylight between Vanjipuram's own sunrise and sunset, so it differs slightly from city to city even within India.
What is the shubh muhurat in Vanjipuram today?
Abhijit Muhurat, the most dependable auspicious window of the day, is 11:55 AM – 12:46 PM IST in Vanjipuram today. For longer ceremonies, also check the auspicious choghadiya periods listed on this page.
Why is the panchang slightly different for each city?
Sunrise-based periods — Rahu Kaal, Yamaganda, Gulika, choghadiya, Abhijit Muhurat — are fractions of the local day length, and sunrise in Vanjipuram (10.62°N, 77.37°E) differs from other cities. That is why this page is computed for Vanjipuram's own coordinates.
About Panchang in Vanjipuram
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 Vanjipuram, Tamil Nadu on 16 June 2026: the Shukla Paksha Dvitiya tithi is in force with the Moon travelling through Ardra nakshatra. Crucially, every muhurat and kaal below is derived from Vanjipuram's own sunrise at 10.62°N, 77.37°E, not lifted from an India-time almanac.
A panchang is only as accurate as the place it is cast for. Sitting at 10.62°N, 77.37°E on Asia/Kolkata time, Vanjipuram keeps its own daily rhythm, distinct from Delhi or Mumbai. On 16 June 2026 the sun rises over Vanjipuram at 5:59 AM and sets at 6:43 PM — figures no Indian city shares — and every sunrise-bound window — Rahu Kalam, Yamaganda, Gulika, the choghadiya spells and Abhijit Muhurat — is measured off that local daylight. Borrow an IST table here and each window slips to the wrong hour; widen the gap enough and the very tithi on your date can differ.
Where do these timings come from? Planetary positions are read from the Swiss Ephemeris, the same high-precision dataset used by leading astrology programs, and corrected with the Lahiri (Chitrapaksha) ayanamsa — the sidereal standard of India's official Rashtriya Panchang. Tithi advances each time the Moon pulls 12° further ahead of the Sun; nakshatra advances as the Moon enters the next 13°20′ division. These instants are universal; we render each in Asia/Kolkata time and derive the sunrise-linked windows from Vanjipuram's real horizon. Details live on our methodology page.
Diaspora households in Vanjipuram and the wider Tamil Nadu area often face the hardest question last: what is the right time? On Tuesday, 16 June 2026, this page settles it — for a puja, housewarming, naming, vehicle purchase or journey alike. Abhijit Muhurat (11:55 AM – 12:46 PM) is the day's most dependable auspicious window, while Rahu Kalam (3:32 PM – 5:08 PM) is best avoided for new beginnings. Use the choghadiya tables above to find a clear stretch for longer rituals; each timing already reflects Vanjipuram's own clock.
Today's Tithi in Vanjipuram
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 Vanjipuram local time (Asia/Kolkata).
Today's Nakshatra in Vanjipuram
The Moon is in Ardra 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 Vanjipuram.
Today's Yoga in Vanjipuram
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 Vanjipuram
On 16 June 2026 the sun rises in Vanjipuram at 5:59 AM and sets at 6:43 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.
