Tithi, Nakshatra, Yoga and Karana are shown as they stand at sunrise in Christchurch, the traditional rule for the day's Panchang. Times use New Zealand Daylight Time (UTC+13), 7 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.
Start and end times are in Christchurch time. A vrat is usually kept on the day the Tithi is running at sunrise; your family or temple tradition may differ.
Daylight in Christchurch today lasts 14 h. Over the year it ranges from about 8 h 57 min to 15 h 26 min, so Rahu Kaal here is anywhere from 67 to 116 minutes long, and every daytime Muhurat stretches and shrinks with the seasons.
Sunrise in Christchurch today is 6:13 AM, 5 minutes later on the clock than in Wellington (305 km away). Even nearby cities need their own Panchang.
On 31 October the sunrise Tithi in Christchurch 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 Christchurch.
Christchurch is on New Zealand Daylight Time (UTC+13), 7 h 30 min ahead of India.
Christchurch uses daylight saving time, so the gap to India changes during the year:
If you were born in Christchurch, 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.
Christchurch is the largest city in the South Island and has a growing Indian community of families, students and healthcare workers. Being far south, its summer days are long and winter days short, which changes the length of Rahu Kaal through the year.
Today in Christchurch Rahu Kaal is 6:28 PM – 8:13 PM. It is worked out from Christchurch'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 Christchurch can have a different Tithi on a given date than Delhi.
