Kochi Panchang August 2027

In August 2027 the sun rises in Kochi as early as 06:14 on all 3 days from Sunday 1 August to Tuesday 3 August and as late as 06:16 on all 11 days from Tuesday 17 August to Friday 27 August — a spread of 2 minutes across the month. Sunset moves from 18:47 on Sunday 1 August to 18:34 on Tuesday 31 August. The longest daylight is 12h 33m on all 3 days from Sunday 1 August to Tuesday 3 August and the shortest 12h 19m on Tuesday 31 August.

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 Kochi in August 2027 an eighth runs from 92 minutes to 94 minutes, and a table quoting a flat ninety minutes is wrong here by up to 4 minutes. Rahu Kaal on 1 August, a Sunday, is 17:13-18:47 — the 8th of those eight parts, which is the one a Sunday always takes.

Because the weekday chooses the part, Rahu Kaal’s position on the clock swings much further than sunrise does. Across August 2027 in Kochi it begins as early as 07:48 on 30 August, a Monday, and as late as 17:13 on 1 August, a Sunday — 9h 25m apart, against a sunrise spread of only 2 minutes. There is no single “Rahu Kaal time” to memorise, here or anywhere.

Kochi sits 0.94° west of New Delhi, which on longitude alone would put its sunrise 4 minutes later. Measured against the national table it actually runs from 17 minutes later to 32 minutes later across August 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 15 minutes across the month. On the worst day in the table below the national panchang’s Rahu Kaal begins 24 minutes from Kochi’s. A national table would get Kochi’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 August 2027 Purnima falls on 17 August; Amavasya on 2 August; the two Ekadashis on 12 August and 28 August.
