Kanpur Panchang December 2027
Sunrise, sunset and the five sunrise-derived windows for all 31 days, computed for 26.4499°N 80.3319°E.
In December 2027 the sun rises in Kanpur as early as 06:39 on Wednesday 1 December and Thursday 2 December and as late as 06:56 on Friday 31 December — a spread of 17 minutes across the month. Sunset moves from 17:15 on Wednesday 1 December to 17:26 on Thursday 30 December. The longest daylight is 10h 36m on Wednesday 1 December and Thursday 2 December and the shortest 10h 28m on 2 days of the month.
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 Kanpur in December 2027 an eighth runs from 79 minutes to 80 minutes, and a table quoting a flat ninety minutes is wrong here by up to 11 minutes. Rahu Kaal on 1 December, a Wednesday, is 11:57-13:17 — the 5th of those eight parts, which is the one a Wednesday always takes.
Because the weekday chooses the part, Rahu Kaal’s position on the clock swings much further than sunrise does. Across December 2027 in Kanpur it begins as early as 08:01 on 6 December, a Monday, and as late as 16:04 on 26 December, a Sunday — 8h 03m apart, against a sunrise spread of only 17 minutes. There is no single “Rahu Kaal time” to memorise, here or anywhere.
Kanpur sits 3.12° east of New Delhi, which on longitude alone would put its sunrise 12 minutes earlier. Measured against the national table it actually runs a steady 17 minutes earlier all month. Latitude accounts for the remaining 5 minutes, in the earlier direction: Kanpur lies 2.16° south of New Delhi, and how much that costs depends on the season. On the worst day in the table below the national panchang’s Rahu Kaal begins 16 minutes from Kanpur’s. A national table would get Kanpur’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 26 of its 27 values and the tithi 29 of its 30. In December 2027 Purnima falls on 13 December; Amavasya on 27 December; the two Ekadashis on 9 December and 23 December.
December 2027 day by day in Kanpur
All times IST. Abhijit is given for every day, including this month’s 5 Wednesdays — 1 December, 8 December, 15 December, 22 December, 29 December — 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 Kanpur in December 2027 it lasts 79 minutes to 80 minutes, which over 31 days comes to 40h 45m of this city’s daylight.
- Gulika and Yamaghanta are two other eighths of the same interval, also fixed by weekday: on a Wednesday they fall in its 4th and 2nd parts. Gulika is listed in the table above; Yamaghanta on 1 December is 07:59-09:18.
- Abhijit muhurat is the eighth of fifteen equal parts of daylight, the one straddling local solar noon — so it too shifts with Kanpur’s longitude, and being a fifteenth rather than an eighth it runs 42 minutes here in December 2027 — 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 five; 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 Wednesday 1 December in Kanpur that is 05:03-06:39, the month’s earliest, and unchanged on Wednesday 1 December and Thursday 2 December.
- 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.

A muhurat needs your chart, not only your city
These windows are correct for Kanpur to the minute. Which of December 2027’s suits a particular purpose in Kanpur depends on your birth chart, and that is a conversation.
