🗓️ Hamilton, Waikato
A Panchang printed for Delhi or Ujjain is not right for Hamilton: sunrise is at a different time, so Rahu Kaal and every daytime Muhurat shift too. Below is today's Panchang calculated from Hamilton's own sunrise and time zone.

| Nakshatra | Punarvasu (pada 3) until Sun 1 Nov, 1:09 PM |
| Yoga | Sadhya |
| Karana | Vishti (Bhadra) |
| Paksha | Krishna Paksha (waning Moon) |
| Moon sign | Mithuna (Gemini) |

Tithi, Nakshatra, Yoga and Karana are shown as they stand at sunrise in Hamilton, 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 Hamilton 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 Hamilton the shortest day has about 9 h 33 min of daylight and the longest about 14 h 47 min (today: 13 h 41 min), which gives a Rahu Kaal of 72 to 111 minutes.
Sunrise in Hamilton today is 6:12 AM, 3 minutes earlier on the clock than in Auckland (114 km away). Even nearby cities need their own Panchang.
On 1 November the sunrise Tithi in Hamilton is Krishna Saptami; in Delhi it is Krishna Ashtami. This is why a vrat date from an Indian calendar can be a day off in Hamilton.
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.
Hamilton's Indian community has grown with the Waikato's dairy, healthcare and university sectors. Families here celebrate Diwali and Holi with community events and often use online tools for Muhurat and Kundli matching.
The Lahiri (Chitrapaksha) ayanamsa, the standard used by the Indian government's Rashtriya Panchang and most printed Panchangs.
Today in Hamilton Rahu Kaal is 7:54 AM – 9:37 AM. It is worked out from Hamilton'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 Hamilton can have a different Tithi on a given date than Delhi.
