How this panchang is calculated for Boston
Every timing on this page is solved for 42.3601° N, 71.0589° W, the coordinates of Boston, Massachusetts, and printed in America/New_York (UTC-04:00 today). On October 7, 2026 the sun rises at 6:47 AM and sets at 6:15 PM here, a 11h 28m day. Rahu Kalam, Yamaganda, Gulika Kalam and the daily muhurtas are all divisions of that local sunrise-to-sunset span, which is why Rahu Kalam falls at 12:31 PM – 1:56 PM in Boston instead of matching a panchangam printed for India. Boston clocks run 9h 30m behind IST.
Tithi, nakshatra, yoga and karana are astronomical events shared by the whole planet, so they begin and end at the same instant everywhere — but the clock time you see them at is your own. The end times above are converted into Boston time, not IST. Residents of Cambridge, Burlington, Waltham and Shrewsbury are close enough to Boston to use these timings as printed.
