Dehradun Panchang December 2027

In December 2027 the sun rises in Dehradun as early as 06:56 on Wednesday 1 December and as late as 07:14 on Friday 31 December — a spread of 18 minutes across the month. Sunset moves from 17:16 on Wednesday 1 December to 17:27 on Friday 31 December. The longest daylight is 10h 20m on Wednesday 1 December and the shortest 10h 11m on 3 days of the month.

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 Dehradun in December 2027 an eighth runs from 76 minutes to 78 minutes, and a table quoting a flat ninety minutes is wrong here by up to 14 minutes. Rahu Kaal on 1 December, a Wednesday, is 12:06-13:24 — the 5th of those eight parts, which is the one a Wednesday always takes.

Because the weekday chooses the part, Rahu Kaal’s position on the clock swings much further than sunrise does. Across December 2027 in Dehradun it begins as early as 08:17 on 6 December, a Monday, and as late as 16:08 on 26 December, a Sunday — 7h 50m apart, against a sunrise spread of only 18 minutes. There is no single “Rahu Kaal time” to memorise, here or anywhere.

Dehradun sits 0.82° east of New Delhi, which on longitude alone would put its sunrise 3 minutes earlier. Measured against the national table it actually runs a steady 1 minute later all month. Latitude accounts for the remaining 4 minutes, in the later direction: Dehradun lies 1.70° north of New Delhi, and how much that costs depends on the season. The windows drift further than sunrise itself does: on the worst day in the table below the national panchang’s Rahu Kaal begins 7 minutes from Dehradun’s, because the same numbered eighth is being taken from a longer or shorter day. A national table would get Dehradun’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 26 of its 27 values and the tithi 29 of its 30. In December 2027 Purnima falls on 13 December; Amavasya on 27 December; the two Ekadashis on 9 December and 23 December.
