Tithi, Nakshatra, Yoga and Karana are shown as they stand at sunrise in Chennai, the traditional rule for the day's Panchang. Times use India Standard Time (UTC+5:30), the same as India (IST). Rahu Kaal, Yamaganda and Gulika are each one eighth of the time from sunrise to sunset, so their length changes through the seasons.
Start and end times are in Chennai time. A vrat is usually kept on the day the Tithi is running at sunrise; your family or temple tradition may differ.
The length of the day decides the length of Rahu Kaal. In Chennai the shortest day has about 11 h 21 min of daylight and the longest about 12 h 54 min (today: 11 h 40 min), which gives a Rahu Kaal of 85 to 97 minutes.
Sunrise in Chennai today is 6:02 AM, 10 minutes earlier on the clock than in Bengaluru (290 km away). Even nearby cities need their own Panchang.
Chennai is on India Standard Time (UTC+5:30), the same as India (IST).
Chennai does not use daylight saving time, so the clock stays the same all year. Enter birth times exactly as written on the birth certificate.
Chennai keeps a strong Panchangam tradition: Rahu Kalam and Yamagandam are checked daily, and Nakshatra matching (porutham) is a standard step before marriage. The Kapaleeshwarar Temple in Mylapore and the Parthasarathy Temple in Triplicane are at the heart of the city's festival calendar.
The Lahiri (Chitrapaksha) ayanamsa, the standard used by the Indian government's Rashtriya Panchang and most printed Panchangs.
Today in Chennai Rahu Kaal is 8:57 AM – 10:24 AM. It is worked out from Chennai's own sunrise and sunset, so it is different from the time in an Indian calendar.
A Tithi begins at the same moment everywhere, but the local clock and sunrise differ. The day's Tithi is the one running at local sunrise, so Chennai can have a different Tithi on a given date than Delhi.
