Loading Panchang for your city…
Pune is Maharashtra's cultural and educational capital — home to the Bhandarkar Oriental Research Institute, one of India's premier Sanskrit and Jyotish scholarship centers. The city has a strong Maratha Hindu tradition where Panchang guides Ganapati Utsav, Gudhi Padwa, and daily muhurta decisions. At 73.86°E, Pune's sunrise is about 17 minutes behind Delhi, making its Rahu Kaal and Choghadiya timings nearly identical to Mumbai but distinct from central and northern India. Pune's large student and IT population increasingly uses digital Panchang tools like StarMeet for planning auspicious activities.

Pune is located at 18.52°N latitude and 73.86°E longitude. This means every time-sensitive Panchang element is specifically calibrated for Pune 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 Pune, these timings are calculated from the exact local sunrise, which differs from Delhi by approximately 13 minutes due to longitude difference.
