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 Mahasamund every day.
Today (13 June 2026) the tithi in Mahasamund is Krishna Paksha Trayodashi, until 4:08 PM IST.
Rahu Kaal in Mahasamund today is 8:40 AM – 10:21 AM IST. It is one-eighth of the local daylight between Mahasamund's own sunrise and sunset, so it differs slightly from city to city even within India.
Abhijit Muhurat, the most dependable auspicious window of the day, is 11:34 AM – 12:28 PM IST in Mahasamund today. For longer ceremonies, also check the auspicious choghadiya periods listed on this page.
Sunrise-based periods — Rahu Kaal, Yamaganda, Gulika, choghadiya, Abhijit Muhurat — are fractions of the local day length, and sunrise in Mahasamund (21.11°N, 82.09°E) differs from other cities. That is why this page is computed for Mahasamund's own coordinates.
Mahasamund is a city in the state of Chhattisgarh. It lies at 21.11°N latitude and 82.09°E longitude. All panchang times (sunrise, sunset, Rahu Kaal, Abhijit Muhurat) are computed specifically for this location using the Swiss Ephemeris with Lahiri ayanamsa — the official Indian Rashtriya Panchang standard.
The Hindu day begins at local sunrise, and the day's protective windows — Rahu Kaal, Yamaganda, Gulika and the eight choghadiya periods — are equal divisions of the daylight between Mahasamund's sunrise and sunset. That day length shifts with the date and the season, which is why this page is recomputed every day. Tithi and nakshatra transition moments are universal, but they are shown here converted to Indian Standard Time, so what you read matches your clock in Mahasamund.
