Coimbatore Panchang, 9 October 2027

The five windows in Coimbatore on 9 October 2027

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 Saturday Rahu Kaal is the 3rd of the eight, Gulika the 1st and Yamaghanta the 6th. Sunrise 06:10 to sunset 18:07 is 11h 57m, so an eighth of it runs 89.6 minutes and a fifteenth — which is what Abhijit is — runs 48 minutes. The Length column is the gap between two endpoints each rounded to the whole minute, which is why the three eighths below read 90 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 9 October 2027, computed for New Delhi from the JPL DE421 ephemeris — the numbers /panchang/2027-10-09/ 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 9 October 2027 is Sunset, which a national table places 9 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 ninety minutes on 9 October 2027, and on almost no other date

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. 9 October 2027 happens to be one of the few dates a year on which the flat ninety minutes a printed almanac quotes is right here, because daylight is close enough to twelve hours for the arithmetic to land on it. On either side of it the same table drifts: across 2027 in Coimbatore an eighth runs from 86 minutes to 96 minutes. Abhijit is a fifteenth of the same interval rather than an eighth, so it runs 48 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 9 October sits in Coimbatore’s year

11h 57m of daylight is the 218th longest of Coimbatore’s 365 days in 2027. The year’s longest sits 50 minutes above it, on 17 June and 3 other days at the same length; its shortest 29 minutes below, on 22 December and 1 other day at the same length. Since yesterday sunrise has moved not at all, sunset 1 minute earlier, so the day is 1 minute shorter — and every window above has moved with it. A monthly table hides that; a dated page is where it shows.

Of the 38 cities this site computes, Coimbatore is the 17th to see the sun on 9 October 2027. Sunrise across all 38 spans 75 minutes, from 05:18 in Guwahati to 06:33 in Jodhpur — and Rahu Kaal’s opening spans 76 minutes, which is the more useful of the two numbers and the one no national table can carry.

The five limbs on 9 October 2027

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 8 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 9 October 2027, which shows the days on either side for exactly this reason.

9 October 2027 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 Jodhpur, 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.

On 9 October 2027 the two columns happen to run in the same order, which is not something to rely on: because every city takes the same numbered eighth on a Saturday and an eighth is a fraction of that city’s own daylight, a place that sees the sun later can reach its Rahu Kaal first whenever its day is enough shorter. Whether that happens depends on the date and on which eighth the weekday assigns, so the ordering here is a fact about 9 October 2027 and not a rule.
