Today's Tithi in Sumter
The tithi on 14 June 2026 is Krishna Paksha Amavasya. 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 Sumter local time (America/New York).
Today's Nakshatra in Sumter
The Moon is in Rohini 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 Sumter.
Today's Yoga in Sumter
Today's yoga is Shula. 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.
Today's Karana in Sumter
The prevailing karana is Chatushpada. A karana is half a tithi — there are two in every lunar day — and it is consulted for fine-grained timing of work begun within the day.
Sunrise and Sunset in Sumter
On 14 June 2026 the sun rises in Sumter at 6:09 AM and sets at 8:33 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 Sumter
A panchang is the traditional Hindu almanac that maps each day through five limbs — tithi (lunar day), nakshatra (the constellation the Moon occupies), yoga, karana and vara (weekday). This page carries the complete panchang for Sumter, South Carolina for 14 June 2026: today the Krishna Paksha Amavasya tithi prevails with the Moon in Rohini nakshatra, and every muhurat and kaal window below is worked out for Sumter's own sky rather than copied from an Indian city's almanac.
Why does the city matter so much? Because nearly everything in a panchang is anchored to local sunrise. Sumter lies at 33.92°N, 80.34°W and keeps America/New York time, so its days begin and end at different moments than any Indian city's. On 14 June 2026 the sun rises over Sumter at 6:09 AM and sets at 8:33 PM — figures no Indian city shares — and Rahu Kalam, Yamaganda, Gulika, the eight choghadiya periods and Abhijit Muhurat are all fractions of that local daylight. Reading an India-time panchang in Sumter would put every one of those windows at the wrong local hour — and across a timezone gap, even the tithi in force on a given date can change.
How these timings are calculated: planetary longitudes come from the Swiss Ephemeris, the same high-precision library used by professional astrology software, with the Lahiri (Chitrapaksha) ayanamsa — the sidereal reference adopted by India's official Rashtriya Panchang. Tithi changes when the Moon moves 12° ahead of the Sun; nakshatra changes as the Moon crosses each 13°20′ arc of the zodiac. These transition moments are universal, and we convert each one into America/New York local time, then derive sunrise-dependent windows from Sumter's own horizon. The full method is documented on our methodology page.
If you live in Sumter or elsewhere in South Carolina, use this page the way a family priest would: check the tithi and nakshatra first, then choose your hour. Abhijit Muhurat (12:52 PM – 1:50 PM) is the day's most dependable auspicious window, while Rahu Kalam (6:45 PM – 8:33 PM) is best avoided for new beginnings. The choghadiya tables above divide Sunday's daylight and night into auspicious and inauspicious spells — every figure already in Sumter local time, with no conversion from IST required.
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 Sumter, United States.
How is Rahu Kalam calculated in Sumter?
The daylight between Sumter'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 Sumter'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 Sumter today?
Rahu Kalam in Sumter today (14 June 2026) is from 6:45 PM – 8:33 PM South Carolina local time. It is computed from Sumter's own sunrise and sunset — not India's — so it differs from Rahu Kalam in Indian cities.
What is the tithi today in Sumter?
The tithi is Krishna Paksha Amavasya, until 10:54 PM local time. Tithi end times are converted to Sumter's timezone (America/New York).
Why is the panchang for Sumter different from India?
All panchang timings depend on local sunrise and sunset. Sumter (33.92°, -80.34°) 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 Sumter.
What is the shubh muhurat in Sumter today?
Abhijit Muhurat, the most auspicious window of the day, is 12:52 PM – 1:50 PM local time in Sumter.
