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: Dwadashiद्वादशीtill 20:17then Trayodashiत्रयोदशीtill 46:22
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.

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: 24.2208°). 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 Ranchi'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.

Choghadiya - Ranchi, 15 January 2026

On Thursday, the 15th of January 2026, the Vedic calendar in Ranchi carries a day of particular rhythmic quality. Sunrise arrives at 6:33 AM and dipping below the horizon at 5:22 PM, bringing 10 hours 49 minutes of daylight. The tithi is Dwadashi of Krishna side of the lunar month, and the nakshatra of the day is Jyeshtha. The day carries the Vriddhi yoga, completing the core panchang signature for 2026-01-15. Brahma Muhurta, the pre-dawn meditation window, runs from 4:57 AM to 5:45 AM.

In Ranchi, Rahu Kala runs from 1:19 PM to 2:40 PM — the period to avoid for new endeavours. The inauspicious direction (Disha Shool) for Thursday is South; new ventures toward the South are traditionally deferred. On the auspicious side, Shubh choghadiya, running 6:33 AM to 7:54 AM, stands out as the best muhurta. Jyeshtha nakshatra is under the lordship of Mercury, bringing the ancient panchang frame into direct contact with Ranchi's horizon.

Frequently Asked Questions

In Ranchi on 15 January 2026, Rahu Kaal runs from 1:19 PM to 2:40 PM. This 90-minute window is governed by Rahu and is traditionally avoided for starting new work, travel, or auspicious ceremonies. The timing shifts daily based on local sunrise, so it differs from city to city.

Why is sunrise in Ranchi on 15 January 2026 at 6:33 AM?

Sunrise at 6:33 AM in Ranchi on 15 January 2026 is determined by the city's geographic latitude (23.34°N) and the Earth's axial tilt on this date. The exact sunrise and sunset (5:22 PM) define the length of the Vedic day and anchor all panchang calculations — from Rahu Kaal to the choghadiya slots — to Ranchi's local horizon.
