Panchang for Canberra: what is different here

Tithi, Nakshatra, Yoga and Karana are shown as they stand at sunrise in Canberra, the traditional rule for the day's Panchang. Times use Australian Eastern Daylight Time (UTC+11), 5 h 30 min ahead of India. 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 Canberra

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

Canberra by the numbers

The length of the day decides the length of Rahu Kaal. In Canberra the shortest day has about 9 h 47 min of daylight and the longest about 14 h 33 min (today: 13 h 32 min), which gives a Rahu Kaal of 73 to 109 minutes.

Sunrise in Canberra today is 6:00 AM, 6 minutes later on the clock than in Sydney (247 km away). Even nearby cities need their own Panchang.

On 1 November the sunrise Tithi in Canberra is Krishna Saptami; in Delhi it is Krishna Saptami. They match today, but on many days they do not, especially around Ekadashi and Purnima, so check before a vrat.

Time in Canberra and why it matters

Canberra is on Australian Eastern Daylight Time (UTC+11), 5 h 30 min ahead of India.

Canberra uses daylight saving time, so the gap to India changes during the year:

If you were born in Canberra, enter your birth time exactly as it is written on your birth certificate. That is the local clock time, already including summer time if it applied, and the birthplace tells the calculation which time zone to use.

Vedic traditions in Canberra

Canberra shares Sydney's clock but sits further inland and south, so its sunrise and Rahu Kaal fall a few minutes differently. Many Indian families in the capital work in research and the public service, and the Canberra Hindu Mandir in Torrens is a focal point for festivals.

Questions from Canberra

What is the Rahu Kaal time in Canberra today?

Today in Canberra Rahu Kaal is 5:51 PM – 7:33 PM. It is worked out from Canberra's own sunrise and sunset, so it is different from the time in an Indian calendar.

Why is the Tithi in Canberra 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 Canberra can have a different Tithi on a given date than Delhi.
