Shubh Muhurat for Wellington: what is different here

Once you have a good date, pick the time of day using Wellington'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 New Zealand Daylight Time (UTC+13).

Upcoming vrat and festival dates in Wellington

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

Wellington by the numbers

Daylight in Wellington today lasts 13 h 54 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 6:07 AM, 4 minutes earlier on the clock than in Christchurch (305 km away). Even nearby cities need their own Panchang.

On 1 November the sunrise Tithi in Wellington 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 Wellington.

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:

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.

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.

Questions from Wellington

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 Wellington?

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

Which events can I find a Muhurat for?

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