About Chandigarh Panchang
Chandigarh, the joint capital of Punjab and Haryana, is the administrative and cultural hub of northern India's most prosperous states, where Punjabi Sikh and Hindu communities both follow Panchang for Gurpurab (Sikh festivals) and Hindu muhurtas. The Punjabi Panchang tradition (Bikrami calendar, also Nanakshahi for Sikhs) is distinct from standard North Indian Panchang — Punjabis use different names for months. At 76.78°E, Chandigarh's sunrise is nearly identical to Bangalore and Jaipur, making its Rahu Kaal almost the same as Delhi.
Why Location Matters for Panchang
All Panchang time divisions — Rahu Kaal, Choghadiya, Hora, and Abhijit Muhurta — are calculated from the local sunrise at your exact coordinates. Chandigarh is located at 30.73°N latitude and 76.78°E longitude. This means every time-sensitive Panchang element is specifically calibrated for Chandigarh residents.
Rahu Kaal (the inauspicious period associated with Rahu) lasts approximately 90 minutes each day, with its timing varying by day of the week. For Chandigarh, these timings are calculated from the exact local sunrise, which differs from Delhi by approximately 2 minutes due to longitude difference.
