About Haridwar Panchang
Haridwar, where the Ganges enters the plains from the Himalayas, is one of Hinduism's holiest cities and a Kumbh Mela host city. The Haridwar Panchang is one of the most authoritative in North India — governing Har Ki Pauri ghat bathing dates, Ganga Dussehra, and the exact astrological moment when the Kumbh Mela bathing muhurta becomes active. At 78.16°E, sunrise is about 3 minutes before 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. Haridwar is located at 29.95°N latitude and 78.16°E longitude. This means every time-sensitive Panchang element is specifically calibrated for Haridwar 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 Haridwar, these timings are calculated from the exact local sunrise, which differs from Delhi by approximately 4 minutes due to longitude difference.
