Mysore Panchang January 2026

In January 2026 the sun rises in Mysore as early as 06:44 on Thursday 1 January and Friday 2 January and as late as 06:49 on all 11 days from Tuesday 20 January to Friday 30 January — a spread of 5 minutes across the month. Sunset moves from 18:09 on Thursday 1 January to 18:24 on Thursday 29 January. The longest daylight is 11h 36m on Saturday 31 January and the shortest 11h 25m 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 Mysore in January 2026 an eighth runs from 86 minutes to 87 minutes, and a table quoting a flat ninety minutes is wrong here by up to 4 minutes. Rahu Kaal on 1 January, a Thursday, is 13:52-15:18 — 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 Mysore it begins as early as 08:11 on 5 January, a Monday, and as late as 16:55 on 25 January, a Sunday — 8h 45m apart, against a sunrise spread of only 5 minutes. There is no single “Rahu Kaal time” to memorise, here or anywhere.

Mysore sits 0.57° west of New Delhi, which on longitude alone would put its sunrise 2 minutes later. Measured against the national table it actually runs from 30 minutes earlier to 21 minutes earlier across January 2026. 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 9 minutes across the month. On the worst day in the table below the national panchang’s Rahu Kaal begins 26 minutes from Mysore’s. A national table would get Mysore’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.
