Chennai Panchang June 2026

In June 2026 the sun rises in Chennai as early as 05:41 on all 10 days from Monday 1 June to Wednesday 10 June and as late as 05:45 on all 4 days from Saturday 27 June to Tuesday 30 June — a spread of 4 minutes across the month. Sunset moves from 18:32 on Monday 1 June to 18:39 on Monday 29 June. The longest daylight is 12h 54m on 13 days of the month and the shortest 12h 51m on all 3 days from Monday 1 June to Wednesday 3 June.

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 June 2026 an eighth runs from 96 minutes to 97 minutes, and a table quoting a flat ninety minutes is wrong here by up to 7 minutes. Rahu Kaal on 1 June, a Monday, is 07:17-08:54 — 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 June 2026 in Chennai it begins as early as 07:17 on 1 June, a Monday, and as late as 17:01 on 28 June, a Sunday — 9h 44m apart, against a sunrise spread of only 4 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 18 minutes later to 20 minutes later across June 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 2 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 37 minutes from Chennai’s, because the same numbered eighth is being taken from a longer or shorter day. 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 30 sunrises the nakshatra takes 26 of its 27 values and the tithi 29 of its 30. In June 2026 Purnima falls on 29 June; Amavasya on 15 June; the two Ekadashis on 11 June and 25 June.
