Coimbatore Panchang March 2026

In March 2026 the sun rises in Coimbatore as early as 06:19 on Tuesday 31 March and as late as 06:37 on Sunday 1 March — a spread of 18 minutes across the month. Sunset moves from 18:32 on Sunday 1 March to 18:33 on Tuesday 24 March. The longest daylight is 12h 14m on Tuesday 31 March and the shortest 11h 55m on Sunday 1 March.

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 Coimbatore in March 2026 an eighth runs from 89 minutes to 92 minutes, and a table quoting a flat ninety minutes is wrong here by up to 2 minutes. Rahu Kaal on 1 March, a Sunday, is 17:03-18:32 — the 8th of those eight parts, which is the one a Sunday always takes.

Because the weekday chooses the part, Rahu Kaal’s position on the clock swings much further than sunrise does. Across March 2026 in Coimbatore it begins as early as 07:52 on 30 March, a Monday, and as late as 17:03 on 1 March, a Sunday — 9h 11m apart, against a sunrise spread of only 18 minutes. There is no single “Rahu Kaal time” to memorise, here or anywhere.

Coimbatore sits 0.25° west of New Delhi, which on longitude alone would put its sunrise 1 minute later. Measured against the national table it actually runs from 9 minutes earlier to 7 minutes later across March 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 16 minutes across the month. On the worst day in the table below the national panchang’s Rahu Kaal begins 9 minutes from Coimbatore’s. A national table would get Coimbatore’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 March 2026 Purnima falls on 3 March; Amavasya on 19 March; the two Ekadashis on 15 March and 29 March.
