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 August 28, 2026 the sun rises at 6:43 AM and sets at 7:47 PM here, a 13h 4m 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 11:38 AM – 1:16 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.
