🗓️ Varanasi, Uttar Pradesh
A Panchang printed for Delhi or Ujjain is not right for Varanasi: sunrise is at a different time, so Rahu Kaal and every daytime Muhurat shift too. Below is today's Panchang calculated from Varanasi's own sunrise and time zone.
| Day (Vara) | Somvar (Monday) |
|---|---|
| Tithi at sunrise | Krishna Ashtami until Mon 2 Nov, 1:11 PM |
| Nakshatra | Ashlesha (pada 1) until Tue 3 Nov, 3:46 AM |
| Yoga | Shubha |
| Karana | Kaulava |
| Paksha | Krishna Paksha (waning Moon) |
| Moon sign | Karka (Cancer) |
| Sun sign (sidereal) | Tula (Libra) |
| Sunrise / Sunset | 6:06 AM / 5:16 PM |
| Rahu Kaal (avoid) | 7:30 AM – 8:54 AM |

| Gulika Kaal | 1:05 PM – 2:29 PM |
| Abhijit Muhurat (good) | 11:19 AM – 12:04 PM |
All times are Varanasi local time (India Standard Time, UTC+5:30). Calculated from Varanasi's own sunrise with the Lahiri ayanamsa.

Tithi, Nakshatra, Yoga and Karana are shown as they stand at sunrise in Varanasi, 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 Varanasi 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 Varanasi the shortest day has about 10 h 34 min of daylight and the longest about 13 h 43 min (today: 11 h 11 min), which gives a Rahu Kaal of 79 to 103 minutes.
Sunrise in Varanasi today is 6:06 AM, 8 minutes later on the clock than in Patna (219 km away). Even nearby cities need their own Panchang.
Varanasi is on India Standard Time (UTC+5:30), the same as India (IST).
Varanasi does not use daylight saving time, so the clock stays the same all year. Enter birth times exactly as written on the birth certificate.
Varanasi, home of Kashi Vishwanath and the Ganga ghats, is where many of the Panchangs used across North India are published. Ganga Aarti at Dashashwamedh Ghat, Dev Deepawali on Kartik Purnima and shraddh rituals during Pitru Paksha all depend on exact Tithis.

Today in Varanasi Rahu Kaal is 7:30 AM – 8:54 AM. It is worked out from Varanasi's own sunrise and sunset, so it is different from the time in an Indian calendar.
