How this panchang is calculated for Washington
Every timing on this page is solved for 38.9072° N, 77.0369° W, the coordinates of Washington, District of Columbia, and printed in America/New_York (UTC-04:00 today). On October 8, 2026 the sun rises at 7:10 AM and sets at 6:40 PM here, a 11h 30m 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 2:20 PM – 3:46 PM in Washington instead of matching a panchangam printed for India. Washington 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 Washington time, not IST. Residents of Arlington, Alexandria, Silver Spring and Fairfax are close enough to Washington to use these timings as printed.
