Visakhapatnam Panchang August 2026

In August 2026 the sun rises in Visakhapatnam as early as 05:35 on Saturday 1 August and as late as 05:42 on all 6 days from Wednesday 26 August to Monday 31 August — a spread of 7 minutes across the month. Sunset moves from 18:30 on Saturday 1 August to 18:11 on Monday 31 August. The longest daylight is 12h 55m on Saturday 1 August and the shortest 12h 29m on Monday 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 Visakhapatnam in August 2026 an eighth runs from 94 minutes to 97 minutes, and a table quoting a flat ninety minutes is wrong here by up to 7 minutes. Rahu Kaal on 1 August, a Saturday, is 08:49-10:26 — the 3rd of those eight parts, which is the one a Saturday always takes.

Because the weekday chooses the part, Rahu Kaal’s position on the clock swings much further than sunrise does. Across August 2026 in Visakhapatnam it begins as early as 07:13 on 3 August, a Monday, and as late as 16:53 on 2 August, a Sunday — 9h 41m apart, against a sunrise spread of only 7 minutes. There is no single “Rahu Kaal time” to memorise, here or anywhere.

Visakhapatnam sits 6.01° east of New Delhi, which on longitude alone would put its sunrise 24 minutes earlier. Measured against the national table it actually runs from 16 minutes earlier to 7 minutes earlier across August 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. The windows drift further than sunrise itself does: on the worst day in the table below the national panchang’s Rahu Kaal begins 37 minutes from Visakhapatnam’s, because the same numbered eighth is being taken from a longer or shorter day. A national table would get Visakhapatnam’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 29 of its 30. In August 2026 Purnima falls on 28 August; Amavasya on 12 August; the two Ekadashis on 9 August and 23 August.
