Once you have a good date, pick the time of day using London'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 Greenwich Mean Time (UTC+0).
| Day (Vara) | Shukravar (Friday) |
|---|---|
| Tithi at sunrise | Krishna Panchami until Fri 30 Oct, 1:55 PM |
| Nakshatra | Ardra (pada 1) until Sat 31 Oct, 1:41 AM |
| Sunrise / Sunset | 6:50 AM / 4:37 PM |
| Rahu Kaal (avoid) | 10:30 AM – 11:44 AM |
| Abhijit Muhurat (good) | 11:24 AM – 12:03 PM |
All times are London local time (Greenwich Mean Time, UTC+0). Calculated from London's own sunrise with the Lahiri ayanamsa.
Start and end times are in London time. A vrat is usually kept on the day the Tithi is running at sunrise; your family or temple tradition may differ.
Daylight in London today lasts 9 h 47 min. Over the year it ranges from about 7 h 50 min to 16 h 39 min, so Rahu Kaal here is anywhere from 59 to 125 minutes long, and every daytime Muhurat stretches and shrinks with the seasons.
Sunrise in London today is 6:50 AM, 8 minutes earlier on the clock than in Coventry (138 km away). Even nearby cities need their own Panchang.
On 30 October the sunrise Tithi in London is Krishna Panchami; in Delhi it is Krishna Panchami. They match today, but on many days they do not, especially around Ekadashi and Purnima, so check before a vrat.
London is on Greenwich Mean Time (UTC+0), 5 h 30 min behind India.
London uses daylight saving time, so the gap to India changes during the year:
If you were born in London, 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.
London has the largest Hindu community in Europe, with strong centres in Harrow, Wembley, Southall, Ilford and Croydon. BAPS Shri Swaminarayan Mandir in Neasden was the first traditional stone Hindu temple in Europe, and Diwali on Trafalgar Square has become a fixture of the city's calendar.
Griha Pravesh (house warming), Vivah (wedding), vehicle purchase and Bhumi Pujan.
Today in London it is 11:24 AM – 12:03 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.
