About Rajkot Panchang
Rajkot, Mahatma Gandhi's hometown in Gujarat's Saurashtra region, is a major commercial city with a strongly observant Gujarati Hindu and Jain community where Panchang is consulted for all business, religious, and life decisions. The Rajkot Panchang follows Gujarati Vikram Samvat conventions, with Diwali (Gujarati New Year) being the city's most Panchang-critical event. At 70.80°E, Rajkot is the westernmost major city in this list — its sunrise is about 26 minutes after Delhi, making it even later than Ahmedabad.
