India's Sunday (June 28, 2026) Panchang advises Sun worship and auspicious timings

The Hindu calendar for Sunday, 28 June 2026, marks the Jyeshtha month’s Shukla Paksha Chaturdashi and the ensuing full‑moon. It lists sunrise at 05:25 a.m. and sunset at 07:22 p.m., with the Jyestha nakshatra in effect, and provides detailed timing for auspicious periods such as the Shubh Muhurta (11:56 a.m.–12:52 p.m.), Rahu Kaal (05:38 p.m.–07:12 p.m.) and other inauspicious spans. The Panchang also notes the moon’s transit through Vrishchika (Scorpio) and recommends using the day for religious observances, new ventures, and important decisions.

Astrological advice emphasizes Sun‑dev worship on this Sunday. Recommended practices include bathing early, wearing red or orange clothing, offering water in a copper vessel with red flowers and sweets to the rising sun, chanting the Om Ghrani Surya Ay Namah mantra 11, 21 or 108 times, reciting the Aditya Hridaya Stotra, donating red items, respecting fathers, helping the needy, and performing Surya Namaskar. These rituals are believed to strengthen the Sun in one’s horoscope, enhancing confidence, leadership, health and career prospects.
