Panchang for Patna: what is different here

Tithi, Nakshatra, Yoga and Karana are shown as they stand at sunrise in Patna, 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.

Upcoming vrat and festival dates in Patna

Start and end times are in Patna time. A vrat is usually kept on the day the Tithi is running at sunrise; your family or temple tradition may differ.

Patna by the numbers

The length of the day decides the length of Rahu Kaal. In Patna the shortest day has about 10 h 33 min of daylight and the longest about 13 h 44 min (today: 11 h 11 min), which gives a Rahu Kaal of 79 to 103 minutes.

Sunrise in Patna today is 5:57 AM, 8 minutes earlier on the clock than in Varanasi (219 km away). Even nearby cities need their own Panchang.

Time in Patna and why it matters

Patna is on India Standard Time (UTC+5:30), the same as India (IST).

Patna does not use daylight saving time, so the clock stays the same all year. Enter birth times exactly as written on the birth certificate.

Vedic traditions in Patna

Patna's biggest festival is Chhath Puja, when families offer arghya to the setting and rising Sun on the banks of the Ganga, so exact local sunrise and sunset times matter a great deal here. The Mahavir Mandir near Patna Junction is the city's most visited temple.

Questions from Patna

Which ayanamsa does this Panchang use?

The Lahiri (Chitrapaksha) ayanamsa, the standard used by the Indian government's Rashtriya Panchang and most printed Panchangs.

What is the Rahu Kaal time in Patna today?

Today in Patna Rahu Kaal is 3:44 PM – 5:08 PM. It is worked out from Patna's own sunrise and sunset, so it is different from the time in an Indian calendar.

Why is the Tithi in Patna sometimes different from 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 Patna can have a different Tithi on a given date than Delhi.
