Once you have a good date, pick the time of day using Kochi's own sunrise: avoid Rahu Kaal, and if you can, start during the Abhijit Muhurat around local midday. Both are shown below for today and change a few minutes each day. Times are in India Standard Time (UTC+5:30).
| Day (Vara) | Shukravar (Friday) |
|---|---|
| Tithi at sunrise | Krishna Panchami until Fri 30 Oct, 7:25 PM |
| Nakshatra | Mrigashira (pada 4) until Fri 30 Oct, 9:03 AM |
| Sunrise / Sunset | 6:14 AM / 6:02 PM |
| Rahu Kaal (avoid) | 10:40 AM – 12:08 PM |
| Abhijit Muhurat (good) | 11:45 AM – 12:32 PM |
All times are Kochi local time (India Standard Time, UTC+5:30). Calculated from Kochi's own sunrise with the Lahiri ayanamsa.
Start and end times are in Kochi 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 Kochi the shortest day has about 11 h 33 min of daylight and the longest about 12 h 42 min (today: 11 h 47 min), which gives a Rahu Kaal of 87 to 95 minutes.
Sunrise in Kochi today is 6:14 AM, 2 minutes later on the clock than in Bengaluru (368 km away). Even nearby cities need their own Panchang.
Kochi is on India Standard Time (UTC+5:30), the same as India (IST).
Kochi does not use daylight saving time, so the clock stays the same all year. Enter birth times exactly as written on the birth certificate.
Kerala has its own deep astrology tradition, and in Kochi horoscope matching before marriage is close to universal. Onam, Vishu and the Malayalam month of Chingam follow the solar calendar, so Sankranti dates (when the Sun changes sign) matter here as much as Tithis.
Today in Kochi it is 11:45 AM – 12:32 PM. It is the eighth of the fifteen daytime muhurtas, centred on local noon.
It helps. If you do not know your Moon sign, a Kundli reading will tell you, or use the Rashi of the person doing the ceremony.
The good dates are usually similar, but the clock times are not. Sunrise, Rahu Kaal and Abhijit Muhurat must be worked out for Kochi. This page shows them in Kochi local time.
