Patna Panchang August 2027

In August 2027 the sun rises in Patna as early as 05:15 on Sunday 1 August and as late as 05:29 on Tuesday 31 August — a spread of 14 minutes across the month. Sunset moves from 18:35 on Sunday 1 August to 18:10 on Tuesday 31 August. The longest daylight is 13h 20m on Sunday 1 August and the shortest 12h 41m 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 Patna in August 2027 an eighth runs from 95 minutes to 100 minutes, and a table quoting a flat ninety minutes is wrong here by up to 10 minutes. Rahu Kaal on 1 August, a Sunday, is 16:55-18:35 — 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 Patna it begins as early as 06:56 on 2 August, a Monday, and as late as 16:55 on 1 August, a Sunday — 9h 59m apart, against a sunrise spread of only 14 minutes. There is no single “Rahu Kaal time” to memorise, here or anywhere.

Patna sits 7.93° east of New Delhi, which on longitude alone would put its sunrise 32 minutes earlier. Measured against the national table it actually runs from 30 minutes earlier to 26 minutes earlier 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 4 minutes across the month. The windows drift further than sunrise itself does: on the worst day in the table below the national panchang’s Rahu Kaal begins 36 minutes from Patna’s, because the same numbered eighth is being taken from a longer or shorter day. A national table would get Patna’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.
