Bangalore Panchang January 2027

In January 2027 the sun rises in Bangalore as early as 06:41 on Friday 1 January and Saturday 2 January and as late as 06:46 on all 14 days from Monday 18 January to Sunday 31 January — a spread of 5 minutes across the month. Sunset moves from 18:04 on Friday 1 January to 18:20 on Sunday 31 January. The longest daylight is 11h 34m on Sunday 31 January and the shortest 11h 23m on 4 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 Bangalore in January 2027 an eighth runs from 85 minutes to 87 minutes, and a table quoting a flat ninety minutes is wrong here by up to 5 minutes. Rahu Kaal on 1 January, a Friday, is 10:57-12:23 — the 4th of those eight parts, which is the one a Friday always takes.

Because the weekday chooses the part, Rahu Kaal’s position on the clock swings much further than sunrise does. Across January 2027 in Bangalore it begins as early as 08:08 on 4 January, a Monday, and as late as 16:53 on 31 January, a Sunday — 8h 46m apart, against a sunrise spread of only 5 minutes. There is no single “Rahu Kaal time” to memorise, here or anywhere.

Bangalore sits 0.39° east of New Delhi, which on longitude alone would put its sunrise 2 minutes earlier. Measured against the national table it actually runs from 33 minutes earlier to 24 minutes earlier across January 2027. 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 9 minutes across the month. On the worst day in the table below the national panchang’s Rahu Kaal begins 25 minutes from Bangalore’s. A national table would get Bangalore’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 28 of its 30. In January 2027 Purnima falls on 22 January; Amavasya on 7 January; the two Ekadashis on 3 January and 19 January.
