Delhi Panchang August 2026
Sunrise, sunset and the five sunrise-derived windows for all 31 days, computed for 28.6139°N 77.209°E.
In August 2026 the sun rises in Delhi as early as 05:42 on Saturday 1 August and as late as 05:58 on Sunday 30 August and Monday 31 August — a spread of 16 minutes across the month. Sunset moves from 19:12 on Saturday 1 August to 18:44 on Monday 31 August. The longest daylight is 13h 30m on Saturday 1 August and the shortest 12h 46m on Monday 31 August.
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 Delhi in August 2026 an eighth runs from 96 minutes to 101 minutes, and a table quoting a flat ninety minutes is wrong here by up to 11 minutes. Rahu Kaal on 1 August, a Saturday, is 09:04-10:46 — the 3rd of those eight parts, which is the one a Saturday always takes.
Because the weekday chooses the part, Rahu Kaal’s position on the clock swings much further than sunrise does. Across August 2026 in Delhi it begins as early as 07:24 on 3 August, a Monday, and as late as 17:30 on 2 August, a Sunday — 10h 06m apart, against a sunrise spread of only 16 minutes. There is no single “Rahu Kaal time” to memorise, here or anywhere.
Delhi is the place the site’s national panchang is computed for, so the times below are the tabulated DE421 values themselves rather than a second calculation of them. Every other city in this cluster is computed from its own coordinates and compared against these.
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 August 2026 Purnima falls on 28 August; Amavasya on 12 August; the two Ekadashis on 9 August and 23 August.
August 2026 day by day in Delhi
All times IST. Abhijit is given for every day, including this month’s 4 Wednesdays — 5 August, 12 August, 19 August, 26 August — because the rule that sets it aside on a Wednesday is followed in some traditions and not others. The window is arithmetic; whether to use it that day is not.

How to read these windows
- Rahu Kaal is one of the eight equal parts of the daylight interval, chosen by weekday, and nothing new is begun inside it. In Delhi in August 2026 it lasts 96 minutes to 101 minutes, which over 31 days comes to 50h 54m of this city’s daylight.
- Gulika and Yamaghanta are two other eighths of the same interval, also fixed by weekday: on a Saturday they fall in its 1st and 6th parts. Gulika is listed in the table above; Yamaghanta on 1 August is 14:08-15:49.
- Abhijit muhurat is the eighth of fifteen equal parts of daylight, the one straddling local solar noon — so it too shifts with Delhi’s longitude, and being a fifteenth rather than an eighth it runs 51 minutes to 54 minutes here in August 2026 — a little over half the length of Rahu Kaal on the same day. Some traditions set it aside on a Wednesday, of which this month has four; the table above computes it on all of them and leaves the observance to you.
- Brahma muhurat is the ninety-six minutes ending at sunrise, so unlike the eighths it is the same length all year and moves only as sunrise does. On Saturday 1 August in Delhi that is 04:06-05:42, the month’s earliest.
- The five limbs — tithi, nakshatra, yoga, karana and the weekday — are read at sunrise, which is why a local sunrise matters even for quantities that do not themselves vary by place.
This page is also the correct panchang for Noida: measured across all 730 tabulated days, its sunrise and every window derived from it never differ from Delhi’s by more than a minute, so a separate page would repeat this one rather than add to it.

A muhurat needs your chart, not only your city
These windows are correct for Delhi to the minute. Which of August 2026’s suits a particular purpose in Delhi depends on your birth chart, and that is a conversation.
