👶 Dubai, Dubai
Welcoming a baby in Dubai? In the Hindu naming tradition (Namkaran) the first letter of the name comes from the Nakshatra and pada the Moon was in at the moment of birth. Zodastro works it out from the baby's birth time and place and suggests names that start with the right syllable.

The Moon moves through one Nakshatra in about a day, and through one pada in about six hours, so the birth time matters. Enter the time on the birth record exactly as written; in Dubai that is Gulf Standard Time (UTC+4), 1 h 30 min behind India. Below you can see the Nakshatra in Dubai right now and its syllables.
At sunrise today in Dubai the Moon is in Punarvasu, pada 1. Names for a baby born in this Nakshatra traditionally start with: Ke, Ko, Ha, Hi (one syllable for each of the four padas).
| Day (Vara) | Shanivar (Saturday) |
|---|---|
| Tithi at sunrise | Krishna Shashthi until Sat 31 Oct, 3:28 PM |
| Nakshatra | Punarvasu (pada 1) until Sun 1 Nov, 4:09 AM |
| Sunrise / Sunset | 6:25 AM / 5:39 PM |
| Rahu Kaal (avoid) | 9:14 AM – 10:38 AM |
| Abhijit Muhurat (good) | 11:40 AM – 12:24 PM |
All times are Dubai local time (Gulf Standard Time, UTC+4). Calculated from Dubai's own sunrise with the Lahiri ayanamsa.
Start and end times are in Dubai time. A vrat is usually kept on the day the Tithi is running at sunrise; your family or temple tradition may differ.
Daylight in Dubai today lasts 11 h 13 min. Over the year it ranges from about 10 h 34 min to 13 h 43 min, so Rahu Kaal here is anywhere from 79 to 103 minutes long, and every daytime Muhurat stretches and shrinks with the seasons.
Sunrise in Dubai today is 6:25 AM, at the same clock time as in Sharjah. Even nearby cities need their own Panchang.
On 31 October the sunrise Tithi in Dubai is Krishna Shashthi; in Delhi it is Krishna Shashthi. They match today, but on many days they do not, especially around Ekadashi and Purnima, so check before a vrat.
Dubai is on Gulf Standard Time (UTC+4), 1 h 30 min behind India.
Dubai does not use daylight saving time, so the clock stays the same all year. Enter birth times exactly as written on the birth certificate.
Dubai has a very large Indian population, and the Hindu temple in Jebel Ali, opened in 2022, now hosts the city's main festival celebrations. Many Dubai families check Muhurat before buying a car or moving into a new apartment, and Diwali is marked across the city with lights and events.
No. Use the local time on the birth record and Dubai as the birthplace. Zodastro converts it to work out the correct Nakshatra.
