Varanasi Panchang June 2026

In June 2026 the sun rises in Varanasi as early as 05:07 on all 19 days from Monday 1 June to Friday 19 June and as late as 05:10 on all 3 days from Sunday 28 June to Tuesday 30 June — a spread of 3 minutes across the month. Sunset moves from 18:44 on Monday 1 June to 18:52 on Thursday 25 June. The longest daylight is 13h 43m on 11 days of the month and the shortest 13h 37m on Monday 1 June and Tuesday 2 June.

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 Varanasi in June 2026 an eighth runs from 102 minutes to 103 minutes, and a table quoting a flat ninety minutes is wrong here by up to 13 minutes. Rahu Kaal on 1 June, a Monday, is 06:49-08:31 — the 2nd of those eight parts, which is the one a Monday always takes.

Because the weekday chooses the part, Rahu Kaal’s position on the clock swings much further than sunrise does. Across June 2026 in Varanasi it begins as early as 06:49 on 1 June, a Monday, and as late as 17:09 on 28 June, a Sunday — 10h 20m apart, against a sunrise spread of only 3 minutes. There is no single “Rahu Kaal time” to memorise, here or anywhere.

Varanasi sits 5.76° east of New Delhi, which on longitude alone would put its sunrise 23 minutes earlier. Measured against the national table it actually runs a steady 15 minutes earlier all month. Latitude accounts for the remaining 8 minutes, in the later direction: Varanasi lies 3.30° south of New Delhi, and how much that costs depends on the season. The windows drift further than sunrise itself does: on the worst day in the table below the national panchang’s Rahu Kaal begins 29 minutes from Varanasi’s, because the same numbered eighth is being taken from a longer or shorter day. A national table would get Varanasi’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 30 sunrises the nakshatra takes 26 of its 27 values and the tithi 29 of its 30. In June 2026 Purnima falls on 29 June; Amavasya on 15 June; the two Ekadashis on 11 June and 25 June.
