Hyderabad Panchang, 14 March 2027

The five windows in Hyderabad on 14 March 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 Sunday Rahu Kaal is the 8th of the eight, Gulika the 7th and Yamaghanta the 5th. Sunrise 06:25 to sunset 18:25 is 12h 00m, so an eighth of it runs 90.0 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 Hyderabad today

The column on the right is the site’s own national table for 14 March 2027, computed for New Delhi from the JPL DE421 ephemeris — the numbers /panchang/2027-03-14/ actually prints. It is the same table almost every panchang in the vertical is a copy of. Every limb on it is right for Hyderabad; every time on it is wrong, and the last column is by how much.

The widest of them on 14 March 2027 is Sunrise, which a national table places 7 minutes later than Hyderabad's. Longitude explains most of it: Hyderabad sits 1.28° east 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 14 March 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. 14 March 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 Hyderabad an eighth runs from 83 minutes to 99 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 Hyderabad it shifts with sunrise and never changes length.

Where 14 March sits in Hyderabad’s year

12h 00m of daylight is the 200th longest of Hyderabad’s 365 days in 2027. The year’s longest sits 71 minutes above it, on 22 June; its shortest 55 minutes below, on 17 December and 4 other days at the same length. Since yesterday sunrise has moved 1 minute earlier and sunset has held, so the day is 1 minute longer — and every window above has moved with it. A monthly table hides that; a dated page is where it shows.

Of the eight cities in this cluster, Hyderabad is the 3rd to see the sun on 14 March 2027. Sunrise across the eight spans 64 minutes, from 05:46 in Kolkata to 06:50 in Ahmedabad — and Rahu Kaal’s opening spans 63 minutes, which is the more useful of the two numbers and the one no national table can carry.

The five limbs on 14 March 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. Hyderabad’s sunrise is 7 minutes earlier than that, so on a day when a limb turns over inside that gap, the value current at Hyderabad’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 14 March 2027, which shows the days on either side for exactly this reason.

14 March 2027 in eight cities

East to west, in the order the sun reaches them. The last column is measured from Hyderabad, so this table is a different table on each of the eight pages that share this date.

On 14 March 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 Sunday 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 14 March 2027 and not a rule.
