Ahmedabad Panchang August 2026

In August 2026 the sun rises in Ahmedabad as early as 06:10 on Saturday 1 August and Sunday 2 August and as late as 06:21 on Sunday 30 August and Monday 31 August — a spread of 11 minutes across the month. Sunset moves from 19:21 on Saturday 1 August to 18:58 on Monday 31 August. The longest daylight is 13h 11m on Saturday 1 August and the shortest 12h 37m on Monday 31 August.

That matters more than it sounds, because Rahu Kaal, Gulika and Yamaghanta are each one eighth of the interval from sunrise to sunset rather than fixed clock spans — so in Ahmedabad in August 2026 an eighth runs from 95 minutes to 99 minutes, and a table quoting a flat ninety minutes is wrong here by up to 9 minutes. Rahu Kaal on 1 August, a Saturday, is 09:28-11:07 — the 3rd of those eight parts, which is the one a Saturday always takes.

Because the weekday chooses the part, Rahu Kaal’s position on the clock swings much further than sunrise does. Across August 2026 in Ahmedabad it begins as early as 07:50 on 3 August, a Monday, and as late as 17:41 on 2 August, a Sunday — 9h 52m apart, against a sunrise spread of only 11 minutes. There is no single “Rahu Kaal time” to memorise, here or anywhere.

Ahmedabad sits 4.64° west of New Delhi, which on longitude alone would put its sunrise 19 minutes later. Measured against the national table it actually runs from 23 minutes later to 28 minutes later across August 2026. It is a range rather than a constant because latitude bends the figure with the season while longitude only shifts it, and here that bend is worth 5 minutes across the month. On the worst day in the table below the national panchang’s Rahu Kaal begins 26 minutes from Ahmedabad’s. A national table would get Ahmedabad’s tithi right and every one of its times wrong.

Tithi, nakshatra, yoga and karana are the same everywhere in India and are read at sunrise from the same DE421 table the rest of the site uses — listed here for completeness, not because they differ by city: across these 31 sunrises the nakshatra takes 26 of its 27 values and the tithi 29 of its 30. In August 2026 Purnima falls on 28 August; Amavasya on 12 August; the two Ekadashis on 9 August and 23 August.
