How this panchang is calculated for Raleigh

Every timing on this page is solved for 35.7796° N, 78.6382° W, the coordinates of Raleigh, North Carolina, and printed in America/New_York (UTC-04:00 today). On October 8, 2026 the sun rises at 7:15 AM and sets at 6:48 PM here, a 11h 33m 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 2:29 PM – 3:55 PM in Raleigh instead of matching a panchangam printed for India. Raleigh 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 Raleigh time, not IST. Residents of Cary, Morrisville, Durham and Apex are close enough to Raleigh to use these timings as printed.

Panchang questions people ask about Raleigh

What time is Rahu Kalam in Raleigh today?

On October 8, 2026, Rahu Kalam in Raleigh, North Carolina runs from 2:29 PM – 3:55 PM local time. It is derived from Raleigh's own sunrise and sunset, so it does not match the Rahu Kalam printed in an India-based panchangam.

What time is sunrise and sunset in Raleigh today?

The sun rises at 7:15 AM and sets at 6:48 PM in Raleigh, North Carolina on October 8, 2026, giving a day length of 11h 33m. Every muhurta on this page is measured from those two moments.

Is this panchang calculated for Raleigh specifically?

Yes. The five elements are astronomical, but the day's windows are not: every timing here is solved for 35.7796° N, 78.6382° W in the America/New_York timezone (UTC-04:00 today). Raleigh clocks run 9h 30m behind IST. The same timings apply across Cary, Morrisville and Durham.
