Rule: The panchang day runs sunrise to sunrise. Tithi, nakshatra, yoga and karana are those in force at sunrise, with their end times. Sunrise is the upper limb of the Sun with standard refraction. Months follow the purnimanta system and the smarta rule by default.
Calculated for your location from NASA JPL's DE440 ephemeris and Astronomy Engine (MIT licence), with the Lahiri ayanamsa. Times can differ by a minute or two from printed panchangs. For vrat and puja timings, follow your family or temple tradition.
Questions families ask
What is Rahu Kaal?
Rahu Kaal is a calendar fact, worked out from sunrise and sunset. Many families avoid starting new work in it. It is not a prediction, and this site makes none. In Chicago today: 7:41 AM – 8:59 AM.
Why are the times different in another city?
A tithi or nakshatra changes at one moment for the whole world, but each city sees that moment at its own clock time, and sunrise and sunset differ from city to city. Every time on this page is for Chicago, in local time (Central Time).
Which calendar rule does this page use?
The panchang day runs sunrise to sunrise. Tithi, nakshatra, yoga and karana are those in force at sunrise, with their end times. Sunrise is the upper limb of the Sun with standard refraction. Months follow the purnimanta system and the smarta rule by default. How we compute the panchang
