Surat Panchang October 2027

In October 2027 the sun rises in Surat as early as 06:29 on Friday 1 October and Saturday 2 October and as late as 06:40 on Saturday 30 October and Sunday 31 October — a spread of 11 minutes across the month. Sunset moves from 18:26 on Friday 1 October to 18:03 on Sunday 31 October. The longest daylight is 11h 57m on Friday 1 October and Saturday 2 October and the shortest 11h 23m on Sunday 31 October.

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 Surat in October 2027 an eighth runs from 85 minutes to 90 minutes, and a table quoting a flat ninety minutes is wrong here by up to 5 minutes. Rahu Kaal on 1 October, a Friday, is 10:58-12:28 — 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 October 2027 in Surat it begins as early as 07:59 on 4 October, a Monday, and as late as 16:56 on 3 October, a Sunday — 8h 56m apart, against a sunrise spread of only 11 minutes. There is no single “Rahu Kaal time” to memorise, here or anywhere.

Surat sits 4.38° west of New Delhi, which on longitude alone would put its sunrise 18 minutes later. Measured against the national table it actually runs from 8 minutes later to 16 minutes later across October 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 8 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 24 minutes from Surat’s, because the same numbered eighth is being taken from a longer or shorter day. A national table would get Surat’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 October 2027 Purnima falls on 15 October; Amavasya on 29 October; the two Ekadashis on 11 October and 25 October.
