About Dwarka Panchang

Dwarka, one of Hinduism's Sapta Puri and the ancient kingdom of Lord Krishna, is Gujarat's westernmost sacred city where the Dwarkadhish temple festival timing — Janmashtami midnight abhishek, Annakut, and Dol Gyaras — is strictly governed by Panchang. At 68.97°E, Dwarka has India's latest sunrise — over 30 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. Dwarka is located at 22.24°N latitude and 68.97°E longitude. This means every time-sensitive Panchang element is specifically calibrated for Dwarka 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 Dwarka, these timings are calculated from the exact local sunrise, which differs from Delhi by approximately 33 minutes due to longitude difference.
