Why Delhi's numbers differ from other cities
Tithi, nakshatra, yoga, and karana are lunar-calendar limbs computed from the Moon and Sun's positions — the same across the whole country on a given day, Delhi included. What genuinely differs by city is anything tied to the local horizon.
Delhi sits about 5° of longitude west of 82.5°E, the meridian Indian Standard Time is anchored to — enough to delay its true solar sunrise by roughly 20 minutes relative to that reference line, part of why sunrise and sunset differ by city even though the whole country shares one clock.
Common questions
- Why does the tithi, nakshatra, yoga, and karana look the same across different Indian cities?
- Because they are the same — tithi, nakshatra, yoga, and karana are lunar-calendar limbs computed from the Moon and Sun's positions, which don't depend on where you're standing on Earth. What genuinely differs by city is anything tied to the local horizon: sunrise, sunset, and the rahu kālam window this page computes from your city's true local sunrise.
- Why is the rahu kālam window different for each city?
- Rahu kālam is one of eight equal segments the daytime (sunrise to sunset) is classically divided into, with the segment for today's weekday fixed by tradition. Because true sunrise and sunset genuinely differ by longitude and latitude, the clock-time start and end of that same segment shift from city to city, even on the same calendar day.
- Is this panchang page updated for today automatically?
- Yes — this page regenerates roughly every hour with the current date's computation, and the date shown in the page title is computed fresh each time, in Indian Standard Time, so it doesn't lag behind after midnight.
- Can I get panchang for a city not listed here?
- Use the panchang tool — it accepts any city by name and computes the same tithi/nakshatra/yoga/karana/rahu-kālam data on demand, for any date.
Sources: Tithi, nakshatra, yoga, karana — standard pañcāṅga (five-limb) calculation, the BPHS / Sūrya Siddhānta tradition, reported at local noon per the backend's public panchang endpoint. True local sunrise/sunset and the rahu kālam window — engine hora_engine.muhurta (compute_true_sun_rise_set, compute_inauspicious_day_periods), the standard 8-fold daytime division used for the inauspicious windows.
