Sunrise, Daylight & Panchangam Timings in Canberra
Canberra lies at latitude 35.3°S. Across 2026, sunrise in Canberra ranges from about 5:42 AM at its earliest (around Dec) to roughly 7:18 AM at its latest (around Apr). The longest day lasts about 14.5 hours near Dec, shrinking to roughly 9.8 hours around Jun.
Rahu Kalam, Yamagandam, Gulika Kalam and the daily Muhurthams are each measured as fixed fractions of the time between local sunrise and sunset. Because that span changes through the year in Canberra, these windows shift too — and they differ from every city in India. That is why this page recomputes the full Panchangam for Canberra’s own coordinates and timezone each day, instead of reusing timings calculated for another location.
Common Questions — Panchangam in Canberra
What time is sunrise in Canberra?
Sunrise in Canberra is not fixed — it varies from about 5:42 AM at its earliest (around Dec) to roughly 7:18 AM at its latest (around Apr). This page computes sunrise daily for Canberra’s coordinates (35.3°S), so the Tithi, Nakshatram, Rahu Kalam and Muhurtham windows always reflect the real local day.
Why does Canberra’s Rahu Kalam differ from the Panchangam my family uses in India?
Rahu Kalam is one-eighth of the daytime, measured from local sunrise to sunset. Canberra runs about 4.5 hours ahead of India and sits at latitude 35.3°S, so its sunrise and day length are different — which means the eight Rahu Kalam slots land at different clock times. A Panchangam printed for Hyderabad or Vijayawada will not line up with Canberra.
Can Telugu festival dates differ in Canberra?
Yes, sometimes. Festivals are fixed by the Tithi at local sunrise (or moonrise/midday for some). Because Canberra is about 4.5 hours ahead of India, a Tithi can begin or end on a different local date — so festivals such as Deepavali or Vinayaka Chavithi occasionally fall a day earlier or later than in India. Each festival date on this page is computed for Canberra’s own timezone.
