Guwahati Panchang May 2027

In May 2027 the sun rises in Guwahati as early as 04:31 on all 4 days from Friday 28 May to Monday 31 May and as late as 04:46 on Saturday 1 May — a spread of 15 minutes across the month. Sunset moves from 17:54 on Saturday 1 May to 18:10 on Monday 31 May. The longest daylight is 13h 39m on Monday 31 May and the shortest 13h 08m on Saturday 1 May.

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 Guwahati in May 2027 an eighth runs from 99 minutes to 102 minutes, and a table quoting a flat ninety minutes is wrong here by up to 12 minutes. Rahu Kaal on 1 May, a Saturday, is 08:03-09:42 — 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 May 2027 in Guwahati it begins as early as 06:13 on 31 May, a Monday, and as late as 16:27 on 30 May, a Sunday — 10h 13m apart, against a sunrise spread of only 15 minutes. There is no single “Rahu Kaal time” to memorise, here or anywhere.

Guwahati sits 14.53° east of New Delhi, which on longitude alone would put its sunrise 58 minutes earlier. Measured against the national table it actually runs from 55 minutes earlier to 53 minutes earlier across May 2027. 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 2 minutes across the month. The windows drift further than sunrise itself does: on the worst day in the table below the national panchang’s Rahu Kaal begins 62 minutes from Guwahati’s, because the same numbered eighth is being taken from a longer or shorter day. A national table would get Guwahati’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 May 2027 Purnima falls on 20 May; Amavasya on 6 May; the two Ekadashis on 2 May and 16 May.
