Amritsar Panchang December 2026

In December 2026 the sun rises in Amritsar as early as 07:12 on Tuesday 1 December and Wednesday 2 December and as late as 07:29 on all 3 days from Tuesday 29 December to Thursday 31 December — a spread of 17 minutes across the month. Sunset moves from 17:26 on Tuesday 1 December to 17:37 on Thursday 31 December. The longest daylight is 10h 14m on Tuesday 1 December and Wednesday 2 December and the shortest 10h 05m on 6 days of the month.

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 Amritsar in December 2026 an eighth runs from 76 minutes to 77 minutes, and a table quoting a flat ninety minutes is wrong here by up to 14 minutes. Rahu Kaal on 1 December, a Tuesday, is 14:53-16:09 — the 7th of those eight parts, which is the one a Tuesday always takes.

Because the weekday chooses the part, Rahu Kaal’s position on the clock swings much further than sunrise does. Across December 2026 in Amritsar it begins as early as 08:32 on 7 December, a Monday, and as late as 16:18 on 27 December, a Sunday — 7h 46m apart, against a sunrise spread of only 17 minutes. There is no single “Rahu Kaal time” to memorise, here or anywhere.

Amritsar sits 2.34° west of New Delhi, which on longitude alone would put its sunrise 9 minutes later. Measured against the national table it actually runs a steady 17 minutes later all month. Latitude accounts for the remaining 8 minutes, in the later direction: Amritsar lies 3.02° north of New Delhi, and how much that costs depends on the season. On the worst day in the table below the national panchang’s Rahu Kaal begins 15 minutes from Amritsar’s. A national table would get Amritsar’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 December 2026 Amavasya on 8 December; the two Ekadashis on 4 December and 20 December.
