Delhi Panchang May 2026

May 2026 day by day in Delhi

All times IST. Abhijit is given for every day, including this month’s 4 Wednesdays — 6 May, 13 May, 20 May, 27 May — 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 May 2026 it lasts 100 minutes to 104 minutes, which over 31 days comes to 52h 32m of this city’s daylight.
• Gulika and Yamaghanta are two other eighths of the same interval, also fixed by weekday: on a Friday they fall in its 2nd and 7th parts. Gulika is listed in the table above; Yamaghanta on 1 May is 15:37-17:16.
• 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 53 minutes to 55 minutes here in May 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 Friday 1 May in Delhi that is 04:04-05:40, and on Sunday 31 May — the month’s earliest sunrise — 03:47-05:23.
• 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.
