About Telugu Panchangam & Vedic Astrology

Telugu Panchangam Daily is a free Vedic Hindu calendar utility that dynamically calculates the traditional Panchangam for any location across the globe. Using the VSOP87 planetary model (a well-tested, open-source astronomical framework), it computes Panchangam parameters for your selected city. Timings are computed for reference; always consult a qualified Pandit for important decisions.

All calculations apply the Chitrapaksha (Lahiri) Ayanamsa, the standard sidereal correction officially recognized by the Indian Government's Calendar Reform Committee. This follows the standard sidereal framework used in traditional Telugu Panchangam publications for the 27 Nakshatras and 30 Tithis.

Key Panchangam Elements

Tithi (Lunar Phase) — The angular separation between Moon and Sun in 12-degree increments, divided into Shukla Paksha (bright fortnight, Tithis 1-15) and Krishna Paksha (dark fortnight, Tithis 1-15).

Nakshatra (Lunar Mansion) — The segment of the sidereal zodiac occupied by the Moon. The 27 Nakshatras from Ashwini to Revati define stellar energy patterns for each day.

Yogam — Derived from the combined sidereal longitude of the Sun and Moon, divided into 27 segments of 13°20' each.

Karanam — Half of a Tithi (6-degree increments), yielding 60 Karanas across one lunar month.

Auspicious Timings — Abhijit Muhurtham, Brahma Muhurtham, and Amritha Kalam (Amrutha Gadiyalu) calculated from local sunrise and sunset.

Inauspicious Periods — Rahu Kalam today, Yamagandam today, Durmuhurtham (also called Dhur Muhurtham), and Varjyam today — all derived from day-of-week sunrise divisions and planetary longitudes.

All Panchangam calculations run locally in your browser — no server-side computation is used for the astronomical data. The page loads fonts and advertising scripts from external servers, but the Panchangam computations themselves are entirely client-side. Whether you need today's Tithi for rituals, today's Nakshatram for matching, or Rahu Kalam today for scheduling, Telugu Panchangam Daily provides real-time calculations for Telugu communities in India, USA, Canada, UK, Middle East, Australia, and Asia.

Calculation Basis: Drik Ganita (modern astronomical) using Lahiri Ayanamsa. Tithi and Nakshatra shown are those active at local sunrise. Values may differ from Surya Siddhanta-based traditional Panchangam publications. Read full methodology & disclaimer →

Telugu Panchangam for Chennai

Chennai, the capital of Tamil Nadu, is home to a large Telugu-speaking community that has lived here for centuries. Areas like T. Nagar, Mylapore, and Anna Nagar have thriving Telugu associations that organize cultural and religious events following the Telugu Panchangam calendar.

Telugu families in Chennai observe festivals like Ugadi, Vinayaka Chavithi, and Sankranti with traditional fervour. The city's numerous Telugu temples, including the Devasthanams on TTD pattern, follow the Panchangam for daily Puja timings and festival scheduling. Chennai's geographic position on the Bay of Bengal coast gives it distinct sunrise and sunset times that affect Rahu Kalam and Muhurtham calculations.

Sunrise, Daylight & Panchangam Timings in Chennai

Chennai lies at latitude 13.1°N. Across 2026, sunrise in Chennai ranges from about 5:41 AM at its earliest (around Jun) to roughly 6:36 AM at its latest (around Jan). The longest day lasts about 12.9 hours near Jun, shrinking to roughly 11.4 hours around Dec.

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 Chennai, these windows shift too. That is why this page recomputes the full Panchangam for Chennai’s own coordinates and timezone each day, instead of reusing timings calculated for another location.

Common Questions — Panchangam in Chennai

What time is sunrise in Chennai?
Sunrise in Chennai is not fixed — it varies from about 5:41 AM at its earliest (around Jun) to roughly 6:36 AM at its latest (around Jan). This page computes sunrise daily for Chennai’s coordinates (13.1°N), so the Tithi, Nakshatram, Rahu Kalam and Muhurtham windows always reflect the real local day.

Why can Chennai’s Rahu Kalam differ from a printed almanac?
Rahu Kalam is one-eighth of the daytime, measured from local sunrise to sunset. Even within India, sunrise at Chennai (13.1°N) differs from cities further east or west by several minutes, so the eight daily slots fall at slightly different clock times. This page uses Chennai’s computed local sunrise rather than a single reference city.

Can Telugu festival dates differ in Chennai?
Occasionally. Festivals are fixed by the Tithi (and sometimes moonrise or midday) at local sunrise. Within India the differences are small, but a Tithi that ends close to sunrise can still place a festival on a different day between far-apart cities. Every festival date shown here is computed for Chennai.
