Bangalore Panchang September 2026

In September 2026 sunrise in Bangalore does not move by a whole minute: it is 06:08 on every one of the 30 days. The month’s whole change in daylight happens at the other end of the day. Sunset moves from 18:30 on Tuesday 1 September to 18:10 on Wednesday 30 September. The longest daylight is 12h 22m on Tuesday 1 September and the shortest 12h 02m on Wednesday 30 September.

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 September 2026 an eighth runs from 90 minutes to 93 minutes, and a table quoting a flat ninety minutes is wrong here by up to 3 minutes. Rahu Kaal on 1 September, a Tuesday, is 15:25-16:57 — 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 September 2026 in Bangalore it begins as early as 07:38 on 28 September, a Monday, and as late as 16:55 on 6 September, a Sunday — 9h 16m apart, against a sunrise that does not move at all. 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 5 minutes earlier to 9 minutes later across September 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 14 minutes across the month. On the worst day in the table below the national panchang’s Rahu Kaal begins 7 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 30 sunrises the nakshatra takes 27 of its 27 values and the tithi 29 of its 30. In September 2026 Purnima falls on 26 September; Amavasya on 11 September; the two Ekadashis on 7 September and 22 September.
