Jaipur Panchang January 2026

In January 2026 the sun rises in Jaipur as early as 07:12 on Saturday 31 January and as late as 07:17 on all 11 days from Wednesday 7 January to Saturday 17 January — a spread of 5 minutes across the month. Sunset moves from 17:44 on Thursday 1 January to 18:07 on Friday 30 January. The longest daylight is 10h 55m on Saturday 31 January and the shortest 10h 29m on Thursday 1 January and Friday 2 January.

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 Jaipur in January 2026 an eighth runs from 79 minutes to 82 minutes, and a table quoting a flat ninety minutes is wrong here by up to 11 minutes. Rahu Kaal on 1 January, a Thursday, is 13:48-15:07 — the 6th of those eight parts, which is the one a Thursday always takes.

Because the weekday chooses the part, Rahu Kaal’s position on the clock swings much further than sunrise does. Across January 2026 in Jaipur it begins as early as 08:35 on 5 January, a Monday, and as late as 16:42 on 25 January, a Sunday — 8h 07m apart, against a sunrise spread of only 5 minutes. There is no single “Rahu Kaal time” to memorise, here or anywhere.

Jaipur sits 1.42° west of New Delhi, which on longitude alone would put its sunrise 6 minutes later. Measured against the national table it actually runs a steady 3 minutes later all month. Latitude accounts for the remaining 3 minutes, in the earlier direction: Jaipur lies 1.70° south 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 9 minutes from Jaipur’s, because the same numbered eighth is being taken from a longer or shorter day. A national table would get Jaipur’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 January 2026 Purnima falls on 3 January; Amavasya on 18 January; the two Ekadashis on 14 January and 29 January.
