Today's Tithi in Van Nuys
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 Van Nuys local time (America/Los Angeles).
Today's Nakshatra in Van Nuys
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 Van Nuys.
Today's Yoga in Van Nuys
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 Van Nuys
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 Van Nuys
On 14 June 2026 the sun rises in Van Nuys at 5:41 AM and sets at 8:07 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 Van Nuys
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 Van Nuys, California 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 Van Nuys's own sky rather than copied from an Indian city's almanac.
City-specific calculation is not a nicety; it changes the answers. Van Nuys sits at 34.19°N, 118.45°W in the America/Los Angeles timezone, so its sunrise, sunset and day length differ from Delhi's or Mumbai's. On 14 June 2026 the sun rises over Van Nuys at 5:41 AM and sets at 8:07 PM — figures no Indian city shares — and since Rahu Kalam, Yamaganda, Gulika, choghadiya and Abhijit Muhurat are all carved out of the local interval between sunrise and sunset, each of those windows lands at a different clock time here than in India. Even the prevailing tithi on your calendar date can differ, because tithi boundaries fall at fixed moments worldwide that convert to different local dates across timezones.
The numbers on this page are drik-siddha — derived from observed planetary positions rather than older mean-motion tables. We compute Sun and Moon longitudes with the Swiss Ephemeris and apply the Lahiri (Chitrapaksha) ayanamsa used by the Indian government's Rashtriya Panchang. A tithi ends when the Moon gains a further 12° on the Sun, a nakshatra when the Moon crosses into the next 13°20′ segment; those instants are then expressed in America/Los Angeles time, and all sunrise-based periods are cut from Van Nuys's actual daylight. Our methodology page explains every step.
For the Hindu community in Van Nuys and the wider California area, this page answers the practical questions: when to schedule a puja, griha pravesh, vehicle purchase, mundan or journey on Sunday, 14 June 2026. Abhijit Muhurat (12:25 PM – 1:23 PM) is the day's most dependable auspicious window, while Rahu Kalam (6:18 PM – 8:07 PM) is best avoided for new beginnings. For longer ceremonies, pick a favourable choghadiya from the tables above — all in Van Nuys local time, so what you read is what your clock shows.
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 Van Nuys, United States.
How is Rahu Kalam calculated in Van Nuys?
The daylight between Van Nuys'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 Van Nuys'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 Van Nuys today?
Rahu Kalam in Van Nuys today (14 June 2026) is from 6:18 PM – 8:07 PM California local time. It is computed from Van Nuys's own sunrise and sunset — not India's — so it differs from Rahu Kalam in Indian cities.
What is the tithi today in Van Nuys?
The tithi is Krishna Paksha Amavasya, until 7:54 PM local time. Tithi end times are converted to Van Nuys's timezone (America/Los Angeles).
Why is the panchang for Van Nuys different from India?
All panchang timings depend on local sunrise and sunset. Van Nuys (34.19°, -118.45°) 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 Van Nuys.
What is the shubh muhurat in Van Nuys today?
Abhijit Muhurat, the most auspicious window of the day, is 12:25 PM – 1:23 PM local time in Van Nuys.
