Upcoming vrat and festival dates in Hamilton

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

Hamilton by the numbers

Daylight in Hamilton today lasts 13 h 39 min. Over the year it ranges from about 9 h 33 min to 14 h 47 min, so Rahu Kaal here is anywhere from 72 to 111 minutes long, and every daytime Muhurat stretches and shrinks with the seasons.

Sunrise in Hamilton today is 6:13 AM, 3 minutes earlier on the clock than in Auckland (114 km away). Even nearby cities need their own Panchang.

On 31 October the sunrise Tithi in Hamilton 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 Hamilton.

Time in Hamilton and why it matters

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

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

If you were born in Hamilton, 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.

Questions from Hamilton

Do I need to know my Rashi?

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.

Is a Muhurat from an Indian calendar valid in Hamilton?

The good dates are usually similar, but the clock times are not. Sunrise, Rahu Kaal and Abhijit Muhurat must be worked out for Hamilton. This page shows them in Hamilton local time.

Which events can I find a Muhurat for?

Griha Pravesh (house warming), Vivah (wedding), vehicle purchase and Bhumi Pujan.
