How this panchang is calculated for Chicago
Every timing on this page is solved for 41.8781° N, 87.6298° W, the coordinates of Chicago, Illinois, and printed in America/Chicago (UTC-05:00 today). On August 29, 2026 the sun rises at 6:13 AM and sets at 7:28 PM here, a 13h 16m 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 9:33 AM – 11:12 AM in Chicago instead of matching a panchangam printed for India. Chicago clocks run 10h 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 Chicago time, not IST. Residents of Naperville, Schaumburg, Aurora and Bolingbrook are close enough to Chicago to use these timings as printed.
