Tamil Nadu
Chennai Panchang
24 months across 2026 and 2027, computed for 13.0827°N 80.2707°E.
Across the 730 days tabulated here the sun rises in Chennai as early as 05:41 on 23 May 2026 and as late as 06:35 on 15 January 2026. The longest day is 15 June 2026 at 12h 54m, the shortest 15 December 2026 at 11h 21m.
Because Rahu Kaal, Gulika and Yamaghanta are each an eighth of the daylight interval, their length moves with the season too: in Chennai an eighth runs from 85 minutes to 97 minutes depending on the date. Any source quoting a flat ninety minutes is wrong here by up to 7 minutes.
Against Delhi, sunrise here runs between 44 minutes earlier and 20 minutes later depending on the month. That the two ends differ by 64 minutes is the point: a longitude correction alone would give a single fixed figure, and latitude is what makes it seasonal. It is also why a national Rahu Kaal cannot be reused here.
