Coimbatore Panchang, 4 February 2026

The five windows in Coimbatore on 4 February 2026

In clock order through the day. Which numbered eighth of daylight Rahu Kaal, Gulika and Yamaghanta each take is fixed by the weekday rather than by the clock, and no two weekdays share the assignment: on a Wednesday Rahu Kaal is the 5th of the eight, Gulika the 4th and Yamaghanta the 2nd. Sunrise 06:45 to sunset 18:26 is 11h 41m, so an eighth of it runs 87.6 minutes and a fifteenth — which is what Abhijit is — runs 47 minutes. The Length column is the gap between two endpoints each rounded to the whole minute, which is why the three eighths below read 88 minutes apiece.

The convention the classical almanacs record is that nothing new is begun inside Rahu Kaal, Gulika or Yamaghanta, and that Abhijit and Brahma muhurat are the day’s two settled windows — Brahma muhurat being the ninety-six minutes ending at sunrise, which is why it is the one window here whose length never changes with the season. What the tradition does not do is grade the rest of the day, and neither does this page. Choosing a window for a purpose needs a chart as well as a clock.

What a national panchang gets wrong in Coimbatore today

The column on the right is the site’s own national table for 4 February 2026, computed for New Delhi from the JPL DE421 ephemeris — the numbers /panchang/2026-02-04/ actually prints. It is the same table almost every panchang in the vertical is a copy of. Every limb on it is right for Coimbatore; every time on it is wrong, and the last column is by how much.

The widest of them on 4 February 2026 is Sunset, which a national table places 24 minutes earlier than Coimbatore's. Longitude explains most of it: Coimbatore sits 0.25° west of New Delhi, and four minutes per degree is the whole of the local-time correction. The rest is latitude, which does not shift sunrise so much as stretch the day — and because Rahu Kaal is a fraction of that day rather than a span on a clock, a stretched day moves the window further than it moves sunrise. That is why the difference in the table above is not one number repeated seven times.

An eighth of the day is not ninety minutes

Rahu Kaal, Gulika and Yamaghanta are each one eighth of the interval from sunrise to sunset. That is a definition, not an approximation, and it means the length of each is a property of the day rather than a fixed quantity anyone can print once. A table quoting a flat ninety minutes is therefore wrong here today by 2 minutes, and wrong in the long direction — it keeps it open past its end. Across 2026 in Coimbatore an eighth runs from 86 minutes to 96 minutes, so the error is not a constant either. Abhijit is a fifteenth of the same interval rather than an eighth, so it runs 47 minutes today — a little over half of Rahu Kaal, and it moves with local solar noon rather than with the clock. Brahma muhurat is the exception: fixed at 96 minutes because it is defined as a span before sunrise rather than a fraction of daylight, so in Coimbatore it shifts with sunrise and never changes length.

Where 4 February sits in Coimbatore’s year

11h 41m of daylight is the 276th longest of Coimbatore’s 365 days in 2026. The year’s longest sits 66 minutes above it, on 21 June and 1 other day at the same length; its shortest 12 minutes below, on 13 December and 17 other days at the same length. Against yesterday nothing moved by a whole minute: sunrise, sunset and the length of the day all held. That is what a table printed to the whole minute does with a change measured in seconds — it happens either side of the solstices, where the sun genuinely stalls, and it happens at low latitudes for weeks at a stretch, where the daily change is small all year.

Of the 38 cities this site computes, Coimbatore is the joint 12th to see the sun on 4 February 2026, sharing the printed minute with one other city. Sunrise across all 38 spans 78 minutes, from 06:05 in Guwahati to 07:23 in Jammu — and Rahu Kaal’s opening spans 77 minutes, which is the more useful of the two numbers and the one no national table can carry.

The five limbs on 4 February 2026

These five are the same everywhere in India, and they are listed here for completeness rather than because they vary by city — a tithi is an angular relationship between the Sun and the Moon, and an angle does not have a postal address. One caveat is honest and worth stating: the almanac convention is to read each limb at sunrise, and the tabulated values above are read at New Delhi's sunrise. Coimbatore’s sunrise is 22 minutes earlier than that, so on a day when a limb turns over inside that gap, the value current at Coimbatore’s own sunrise is the neighbouring one. The site does not guess which days those are; where a limb is close to its boundary the honest place to look is the neighbouring-day view on the national page for 4 February 2026, which shows the days on either side for exactly this reason.

4 February 2026 in Coimbatore and the cities nearest it

East to west, in the order the sun reaches them: Coimbatore and the four cities nearest it, with Guwahati and Jammu, which see the sun first and last of all 38 on this date. The last column is measured from Coimbatore, so the table differs on every page that shares this date.

The two columns do not run in the same order, and 4 February 2026 is one of the dates where that is visible: Kochi sees the sun before Mysore and still reaches Rahu Kaal 1 minute after it. The reason is in the fourth column. Both cities take the same numbered eighth on a Wednesday, but Mysore’s eighth is 87 minutes against 88 in Kochi, and several eighths of that difference accumulate before the window opens. A shorter day reaches its own afternoon sooner.

Worth noting about 4 February 2026

• Abhijit is computed above because it is arithmetic — the eighth of fifteen equal parts of daylight — but 4 February 2026 is a Wednesday, and some traditions do not count Abhijit on a Wednesday. This site publishes the window on every weekday and leaves the observance to you.
• 06:45 is the latest sunrise Coimbatore sees in February 2026, held on 7 days of the month at the same minute.
