Aaj Ka Panchang — Sydney, 19 August 2026

On 19 August 2026 the tithi in Sydney is Shukla Saptami, prevailing at sunrise and ending at 11:42 PM AEST. The nakshatra is Swati (pada 4) until 11:17 AM AEST.

Rahu Kaal in Sydney on 19 August 2026 runs 11:59 AM to 1:21 PM AEST. Yamaganda (7:53 AM–9:15 AM) and Gulika (10:37 AM–11:59 AM) are also inauspicious — avoid starting new work in all three. They are computed from Sydney's actual sunrise, not a fixed national table.

The universally auspicious Abhijit Muhurat runs 11:37 AM–12:21 PM AEST. The choghadiya table above marks every Amrit and Shubh slot through the day and night — those are the best windows to begin work.

Tithis, nakshatras and yogas are moments in time, but Rahu Kaal, choghadiya and Abhijit are derived from local sunrise and sunset, so they shift with longitude and latitude. Bela computes each city from its own coordinates (-33.8678°N, 151.2073°E) — never a national average.

Bela's engine scans all 16 choghadiya windows of the day for each activity and scores the best one by classical muhurta rules: Rahu Kaal, Yamaganda, Gulika, Durmuhurtam, Panchaka, nakshatra suitability, tithi and yoga. The 0–100 score is that window's strength — personal Tara Bala vs your birth star is an app feature.
