Chennai Panchang February 2027

In February 2027 the sun rises in Chennai as early as 06:25 on Sunday 28 February and as late as 06:35 on all 3 days from Monday 1 February to Wednesday 3 February — a spread of 10 minutes across the month. Sunset moves from 18:09 on Monday 1 February to 18:17 on Friday 26 February. The longest daylight is 11h 52m on Sunday 28 February and the shortest 11h 34m on Monday 1 February.

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 Chennai in February 2027 an eighth runs from 87 minutes to 89 minutes, and a table quoting a flat ninety minutes is wrong here by up to 3 minutes. Rahu Kaal on 1 February, a Monday, is 08:02-09:29 — the 2nd of those eight parts, which is the one a Monday always takes.

Because the weekday chooses the part, Rahu Kaal’s position on the clock swings much further than sunrise does. Across February 2027 in Chennai it begins as early as 07:57 on 22 February, a Monday, and as late as 16:48 on 28 February, a Sunday — 8h 52m apart, against a sunrise spread of only 10 minutes. There is no single “Rahu Kaal time” to memorise, here or anywhere.

Chennai sits 3.06° east of New Delhi, which on longitude alone would put its sunrise 12 minutes earlier. Measured against the national table it actually runs from 34 minutes earlier to 22 minutes earlier across February 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 12 minutes across the month. On the worst day in the table below the national panchang’s Rahu Kaal begins 28 minutes from Chennai’s. A national table would get Chennai’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 28 sunrises the nakshatra takes 27 of its 27 values and the tithi 28 of its 30. In February 2027 Amavasya on 6 February; the two Ekadashis on 2 February and 17 February.
