Vedic traditions in Wellington

Wellington's Indian community is one of the oldest in New Zealand, with roots going back over a century, and Kilbirnie is a focal point for community life. Wellington also hosts a popular Diwali festival each year.

Wellington by the numbers

Daylight in Wellington today lasts 13 h 51 min. Over the year it ranges from about 9 h 12 min to 15 h 10 min, so Rahu Kaal here is anywhere from 69 to 114 minutes long, and every daytime Muhurat stretches and shrinks with the seasons.

Sunrise in Wellington today is 6:08 AM, 5 minutes earlier on the clock than in Christchurch (305 km away). Even nearby cities need their own Panchang.

On 31 October the sunrise Tithi in Wellington is Krishna Shashthi; in Delhi it is Krishna Saptami. This is why a vrat date from an Indian calendar can be a day off in Wellington.

Vedic astrology for families in New Zealand

New Zealand is one of the first places in the world to see each new day, 6 h 30 min to 7 h 30 min ahead of India. A festival Tithi often begins a calendar day earlier here than an Indian calendar shows, and clocks move to daylight saving from late September to early April. These pages calculate Panchang and festival timings for your New Zealand city.

Time in Wellington and why it matters

Wellington is on New Zealand Daylight Time (UTC+13), 7 h 30 min ahead of India.

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

• 4 April 2027: clocks go back to UTC+12
• 26 September 2027: clocks go forward to UTC+13

If you were born in Wellington, 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.
