Bhubaneswar Panchang May 2027

In May 2027 the sun rises in Bhubaneswar as early as 05:06 on all 5 days from Thursday 27 May to Monday 31 May and as late as 05:17 on Saturday 1 May — a spread of 11 minutes across the month. Sunset moves from 18:10 on Saturday 1 May to 18:22 on Sunday 30 May. The longest daylight is 13h 16m on Sunday 30 May and Monday 31 May and the shortest 12h 53m on Saturday 1 May.

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 Bhubaneswar in May 2027 an eighth runs from 97 minutes to 100 minutes, and a table quoting a flat ninety minutes is wrong here by up to 10 minutes. Rahu Kaal on 1 May, a Saturday, is 08:30-10:07 — 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 May 2027 in Bhubaneswar it begins as early as 06:46 on 31 May, a Monday, and as late as 16:43 on 30 May, a Sunday — 9h 57m apart, against a sunrise spread of only 11 minutes. There is no single “Rahu Kaal time” to memorise, here or anywhere.

Bhubaneswar sits 8.62° east of New Delhi, which on longitude alone would put its sunrise 34 minutes earlier. Measured against the national table it actually runs from 24 minutes earlier to 18 minutes earlier across May 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 6 minutes across the month. The windows drift further than sunrise itself does: on the worst day in the table below the national panchang’s Rahu Kaal begins 47 minutes from Bhubaneswar’s, because the same numbered eighth is being taken from a longer or shorter day. A national table would get Bhubaneswar’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 27 of its 27 values and the tithi 29 of its 30. In May 2027 Purnima falls on 20 May; Amavasya on 6 May; the two Ekadashis on 2 May and 16 May.
