Lucknow Panchang January 2027

In January 2027 the sun rises in Lucknow as early as 06:52 on Saturday 30 January and Sunday 31 January and as late as 06:56 on all 14 days from Wednesday 6 January to Tuesday 19 January — a spread of 4 minutes across the month. Sunset moves from 17:24 on Friday 1 January to 17:47 on Sunday 31 January. The longest daylight is 10h 55m on Sunday 31 January and the shortest 10h 29m on Friday 1 January and Saturday 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 Lucknow in January 2027 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 Friday, is 10:51-12:10 — the 4th of those eight parts, which is the one a Friday always takes.

Because the weekday chooses the part, Rahu Kaal’s position on the clock swings much further than sunrise does. Across January 2027 in Lucknow it begins as early as 08:14 on 4 January, a Monday, and as late as 16:25 on 31 January, a Sunday — 8h 11m apart, against a sunrise spread of only 4 minutes. There is no single “Rahu Kaal time” to memorise, here or anywhere.

Lucknow sits 3.74° east of New Delhi, which on longitude alone would put its sunrise 15 minutes earlier. Measured against the national table it actually runs a steady 18 minutes earlier all month. Latitude accounts for the remaining 3 minutes, in the earlier direction: Lucknow lies 1.77° 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 18 minutes from Lucknow’s. A national table would get Lucknow’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 28 of its 30. In January 2027 Purnima falls on 22 January; Amavasya on 7 January; the two Ekadashis on 3 January and 19 January.
