Vedic traditions in Atlanta

Atlanta's Indian community is centred in suburbs such as Alpharetta, Duluth and Cumming. The BAPS Shri Swaminarayan Mandir in Lilburn is one of the largest Hindu temples in the United States and draws visitors from across the South.

Atlanta by the numbers

Daylight in Atlanta today lasts 10 h 52 min. Over the year it ranges from about 9 h 55 min to 14 h 24 min, so Rahu Kaal here is anywhere from 74 to 108 minutes long, and every daytime Muhurat stretches and shrinks with the seasons.

Sunrise in Atlanta today is 7:55 AM, 22 minutes later on the clock than in Washington, D.C. (873 km away). Even nearby cities need their own Panchang.

On 30 October the sunrise Tithi in Atlanta 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.

Vedic astrology for families in United States

Indian-American families celebrate every festival, but the date on an Indian calendar is often not the right date in America. The US is 9 h 30 min to 13 h 30 min behind India, so a Tithi that begins in the evening in Delhi may begin the morning before in New York. These pages give Panchang, Muhurat and festival times worked out for your American city and its daylight-saving rules.

Time in Atlanta and why it matters

Atlanta is on Eastern Daylight Time (UTC−4), 9 h 30 min behind India.

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

• 1 November 2026: clocks go back to UTC−5
• 14 March 2027: clocks go forward to UTC−4
• 7 November 2027: clocks go back to UTC−5

If you were born in Atlanta, 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.
