Panchang — the five angas पञ्चाङ्ग
Tithi, Nakshatra, Yoga, Karana and Vara with their end-times, plus the month and the Moon’s and Sun’s signs — computed for this city’s sunrise. Times after midnight use the traditional extended clock (e.g. 27:23 = 03:23 next morning).
- Tithi
- Tritiyaतृतीयाtill 21:39then Chaturthiचतुर्थीtill 42:59
What this means
The lunar day. It is set by how far the Moon has pulled ahead of the Sun — each 12 degrees of separation is one tithi. The tithi shapes which activities the tradition favours, and it ends at the time shown, when the next one begins.
Muhurta Chintamani — Tithi-prakaranam (Nanda/Bhadra/Jaya/Rikta/Purna tithi-types) - Nakshatra
- Punarvasuपुनर्वसुtill 13:37then Pushyaपुष्यtill 35:32
What this means
The Moon's star-mansion — the patch of sky it sits in today, one of 27. Each nakshatra has its own temperament that classical texts use to judge what the day is good for.
Brihat Samhita — Nakshatra chapters (nakshatra qualities) - Yoga
- Dhruvaध्रुवtill 20:51then Vyaghataव्याघातtill 41:35
What this means
A combined Sun-and-Moon measure (one of 27 nitya-yogas) — not the physical posture practice. A few yogas, such as Vyatipata and Vaidhriti, are best avoided; most are ordinary.
Muhurta Chintamani — Yoga enumeration (tyajya-yoga list, v. 33) - Karana
- Taitilaतैतिलtill 11:12then Garajaगरजtill 21:39chain: Taitila (11:12) → Garaja (21:39) → Vanija (32:14)
What this means
Half of a tithi — each lunar day holds two karanas. One of them, Vishti (also called Bhadra), is treated as inauspicious; the rest are workable.
BPHS — Karana-jnana-vidhi (11 karanas including Vishti) - Vara
- Budhavaraबुधवार
What this means
The weekday and its ruling planet. Each day's planet colours which tasks the tradition recommends — e.g. Thursday (Jupiter) for auspicious beginnings.
Muhurta Chintamani — Vara-prakaranam (weekday lords) - Maasa (Amanta)
- AshadhaआषाढPravishte/Gate: 3
What this means
The lunar month. India uses two reckonings — Amanta (new-moon to new-moon) and Purnimanta (full-moon to full-moon) — so the name can differ by region. An 'Adhika' (extra) month is inserted to keep the lunar and solar years aligned.
Nirnaya Sindhu — Adhikamasa-nirnaya (intercalary month) - Maasa (Purnimanta)
- Ashadhaआषाढ
- Paksha
- Shukla (waxing)शुक्ल पक्ष
What this means
The fortnight. Shukla is the waxing half (Moon growing toward full); Krishna is the waning half (toward the new moon).
Calendar definition
- Chandra Rashi
- Mithunaमिथुनtill 08:13then Karkaकर्क
What this means
The zodiac sign the Moon occupies now. Together with your birth Moon-sign it drives Chandrabala — the Moon's day-to-day favourability for you.
Muhurta Chintamani — 2.4-2.5 (Chandrabala) - Surya Rashi
- Mithunaमिथुन
Sidereal (Lahiri) ephemeris; anga end-times computed to the city’s actual sunrise. “Adhika maas” marks an intercalary lunar month (no solar sankranti within it).
How we compute this panchang
Every time on this page is calculated from the actual positions of the Sun and Moon using the Swiss Ephemeris (the same high-precision astronomical engine used by professional astronomers), not from a printed almanac or a fixed table.
- Sidereal zodiac, Lahiri ayanamsha — the standard used by the Indian government calendar (ayanamsha for this date: 24.2267°). All nakshatra, rashi, tithi and yoga boundaries follow from it.
- Local true sunrise — muhurta windows (Rahu Kaal, Choghadiya, Hora, Abhijit and the rest) are measured from the true sunrise computed for Meerut's exact coordinates, so they are correct for your location, not a regional approximation.
- Two month conventions — we show both the Amanta (new-moon-to-new-moon) and Purnimanta (full-moon-to-full-moon) lunar month, because different regions of India follow different ones; an Adhika (intercalary) month is marked when it occurs.
Significance and auspicious/inauspicious flags are drawn from classical texts (Muhurta Chintamani, Brihat Samhita, the Puranas and others) and cited inline — we never assert an effect a text does not state.

Abhijit Muhurta - Meerut, 17 June 2026
On Wednesday, the 17th of June 2026, the Vedic calendar in Meerut carries a day of particular rhythmic quality. Sunrise arrives at 5:21 AM and dipping below the horizon at 7:18 PM, bringing 13 hours 57 minutes of daylight. The tithi is Tritiya of the Shukla fortnight, and the nakshatra of the day is Punarvasu. The day carries the Dhruva yoga, completing the core panchang signature for 2026-06-17. Brahma Muhurta, the pre-dawn meditation window, runs from 3:45 AM to 4:33 AM.
In Meerut, Rahu Kala runs from 12:20 PM to 2:04 PM — the period to avoid for new endeavours. The inauspicious direction (Disha Shool) for Wednesday is North; new ventures toward the North are traditionally deferred. On the auspicious side, Labh choghadiya, running 5:21 AM to 7:06 AM, stands out as the best muhurta. Punarvasu nakshatra is under the lordship of Jupiter, bringing the ancient panchang frame into direct contact with Meerut's horizon.
