Loading Panchang for your city…
Ahmedabad is the commercial capital of Gujarat and a city where Jain and Vaishnava Hindu Panchang traditions intersect — making daily Panchang one of the most practically observed calendars in India. The Gujarati Panchang (Vikram Samvat calendar) guides business launches, diamond trading decisions, and festival celebrations for Ahmedabad's merchant communities. Ahmedabad's westerly longitude (72.57°E) means sunrise occurs nearly 25 minutes after Delhi — the latest among major Indian cities, giving it the most different Rahu Kaal and Abhijit Muhurta timings from the national capital. Diwali (Gujarati New Year) and Navratri are Ahmedabad's most Panchang-intensive festivals.

Ahmedabad is located at 23.02°N latitude and 72.57°E longitude. This means every time-sensitive Panchang element is specifically calibrated for Ahmedabad residents.
