How this panchang is calculated for Chennai
Every timing on this page is solved for 13.0827° N, 80.2707° E, the coordinates of Chennai, Tamil Nadu, and printed in Asia/Kolkata (UTC+05:30 today). On October 8, 2026 the sun rises at 5:58 AM and sets at 5:54 PM here, a 11h 56m 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 1:26 PM – 2:56 PM in Chennai instead of matching a panchangam printed for India. Chennai keeps Indian Standard Time.
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 Chennai time, not IST. Residents of Tambaram, Chromepet and Ambattur are close enough to Chennai to use these timings as printed.
