About Dehradun Panchang
Dehradun, the capital of Uttarakhand and gateway to Haridwar and Rishikesh (50 km away), serves a large population of pilgrims who consult Panchang for Ganga Snan timings on Ekadashi, Purnima, and Amavasya. Uttarakhand's Garhwali and Kumaoni Hindu traditions follow the North Indian Purnimanta Panchang, with Kumbh Mela (Haridwar) being the most astronomically Panchang-determined festival in India. At 78.03°E, Dehradun's sunrise is about 3 minutes after 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. Dehradun is located at 30.32°N latitude and 78.03°E longitude. This means every time-sensitive Panchang element is specifically calibrated for Dehradun 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 Dehradun, these timings are calculated from the exact local sunrise, which differs from Delhi by approximately 3 minutes due to longitude difference.
