Amritsar Panchang, 22 September 2027

The five windows in Amritsar on 22 September 2027

In clock order through the day. Which numbered eighth of daylight Rahu Kaal, Gulika and Yamaghanta each take is fixed by the weekday rather than by the clock, and no two weekdays share the assignment: on a Wednesday Rahu Kaal is the 5th of the eight, Gulika the 4th and Yamaghanta the 2nd. Sunrise 06:18 to sunset 18:27 is 12h 09m, so an eighth of it runs 91.1 minutes and a fifteenth — which is what Abhijit is — runs 49 minutes. The Length column is the gap between two endpoints each rounded to the whole minute, which is why the three eighths below read 91 minutes apiece.

The convention the classical almanacs record is that nothing new is begun inside Rahu Kaal, Gulika or Yamaghanta, and that Abhijit and Brahma muhurat are the day’s two settled windows — Brahma muhurat being the ninety-six minutes ending at sunrise, which is why it is the one window here whose length never changes with the season. What the tradition does not do is grade the rest of the day, and neither does this page. Choosing a window for a purpose needs a chart as well as a clock.

What a national panchang gets wrong in Amritsar today

The column on the right is the site’s own national table for 22 September 2027, computed for New Delhi from the JPL DE421 ephemeris — the numbers /panchang/2027-09-22/ actually prints. It is the same table almost every panchang in the vertical is a copy of. Every limb on it is right for Amritsar; every time on it is wrong, and the last column is by how much.

The widest of them on 22 September 2027 is Rahu Kaal, which a national table places 10 minutes earlier than Amritsar's. Longitude explains most of it: Amritsar sits 2.34° west of New Delhi, and four minutes per degree is the whole of the local-time correction. The rest is latitude, which does not shift sunrise so much as stretch the day — and because Rahu Kaal is a fraction of that day rather than a span on a clock, a stretched day moves the window further than it moves sunrise. That is why the difference in the table above is not one number repeated seven times.

An eighth of the day is not ninety minutes

Rahu Kaal, Gulika and Yamaghanta are each one eighth of the interval from sunrise to sunset. That is a definition, not an approximation, and it means the length of each is a property of the day rather than a fixed quantity anyone can print once. A table quoting a flat ninety minutes is therefore wrong here today by 1 minute, and wrong in the short direction — it closes the window early. Across 2027 in Amritsar an eighth runs from 75 minutes to 107 minutes, so the error is not a constant either. Abhijit is a fifteenth of the same interval rather than an eighth, so it runs 49 minutes today — a little over half of Rahu Kaal, and it moves with local solar noon rather than with the clock. Brahma muhurat is the exception: fixed at 96 minutes because it is defined as a span before sunrise rather than a fraction of daylight, so in Amritsar it shifts with sunrise and never changes length.

Where 22 September sits in Amritsar’s year

12h 09m of daylight is the 185th longest of Amritsar’s 365 days in 2027. The year’s longest sits 124 minutes above it, on 15 June and 7 other days at the same length; its shortest 124 minutes below, on 18 December and 6 other days at the same length. Since yesterday sunrise has moved 1 minute later, sunset 2 minutes earlier, so the day is 3 minutes shorter — and every window above has moved with it. A monthly table hides that; a dated page is where it shows.

Of the 38 cities this site computes, Amritsar is the joint 29th to see the sun on 22 September 2027, sharing the printed minute with one other city. Sunrise across all 38 spans 77 minutes, from 05:11 in Guwahati to 06:28 in Ahmedabad — and Rahu Kaal’s opening spans 77 minutes, which is the more useful of the two numbers and the one no national table can carry.

The five limbs on 22 September 2027

These five are the same everywhere in India, and they are listed here for completeness rather than because they vary by city — a tithi is an angular relationship between the Sun and the Moon, and an angle does not have a postal address. One caveat is honest and worth stating: the almanac convention is to read each limb at sunrise, and the tabulated values above are read at New Delhi's sunrise. Amritsar’s sunrise is 9 minutes later than that, so on a day when a limb turns over inside that gap, the value current at Amritsar’s own sunrise is the neighbouring one. The site does not guess which days those are; where a limb is close to its boundary the honest place to look is the neighbouring-day view on the national page for 22 September 2027, which shows the days on either side for exactly this reason.

22 September 2027 in Amritsar and the cities nearest it

East to west, in the order the sun reaches them: Amritsar and the four cities nearest it, with Guwahati and Ahmedabad, which see the sun first and last of all 38 on this date. The last column is measured from Amritsar, so the table differs on every page that shares this date.

On 22 September 2027 the two columns happen to run in the same order, which is not something to rely on: because every city takes the same numbered eighth on a Wednesday and an eighth is a fraction of that city’s own daylight, a place that sees the sun later can reach its Rahu Kaal first whenever its day is enough shorter. Whether that happens depends on the date and on which eighth the weekday assigns, so the ordering here is a fact about 22 September 2027 and not a rule.

Worth noting about 22 September 2027

• Abhijit is computed above because it is arithmetic — the eighth of fifteen equal parts of daylight — but 22 September 2027 is a Wednesday, and some traditions do not count Abhijit on a Wednesday. This site publishes the window on every weekday and leaves the observance to you.
