Panchang by City

On 1 June 2026 the sun rises at 04:30 in Guwahati and 06:02 in Goa. That is 92 minutes apart on the same morning, in the same country, on the same clock. Every quantity a panchang derives from sunrise is that far apart too.

Tithi, nakshatra, yoga and karana do not vary by city — they are positions of the Sun and Moon, read at sunrise, and the same everywhere in India. But Rahu Kaal, Gulika and Yamaghanta are each one eighth of the interval from sunrise to sunset, Abhijit is its middle fifteenth, and Brahma muhurat is the ninety-six minutes ending at sunrise. All five are local. A national table that prints one Rahu Kaal for the whole country is right about the limbs and wrong about every window.

Because an eighth is a fraction of daylight rather than a fixed span, its length moves with the season as well as the place: across these cities and dates an eighth runs from about 75 minutes to about 107 minutes. The familiar “Rahu Kaal is about an hour and a half” is a rounding of the middle of that range, not a rule.

Delhi is the reference: the site’s national panchang table was computed for it from the JPL DE421 ephemeris, so its pages show those tabulated values directly and every other city is computed from its own coordinates and compared against them.
