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 Houston

Houston has one of the fastest-growing Telugu communities in the United States, drawn by the energy, healthcare, and technology industries. The Meenakshi Temple and Sri Siva Vishnu Temple in the Greater Houston area serve as cultural anchors for Telugu families following the traditional Panchangam calendar.

Houston's Central Time zone (UTC-6/-5) and its subtropical climate with warm temperatures year-round create distinct Panchangam conditions. Summer days are long but not as extreme as northern US cities, providing relatively consistent Muhurtham and Rahu Kalam windows. Telugu families in Houston plan major ceremonies around both the Panchangam and hurricane season considerations.

Sunrise, Daylight & Panchangam Timings in Houston

Houston lies at latitude 29.8°N. Across 2026, sunrise in Houston ranges from about 6:20 AM at its earliest (around Jun) to roughly 7:37 AM at its latest (around Mar). The longest day lasts about 14.1 hours near Jun, shrinking to roughly 10.2 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 Houston, these windows shift too — and they differ from every city in India. That is why this page recomputes the full Panchangam for Houston’s own coordinates and timezone each day, instead of reusing timings calculated for another location.

Common Questions — Panchangam in Houston

What time is sunrise in Houston?
Sunrise in Houston is not fixed — it varies from about 6:20 AM at its earliest (around Jun) to roughly 7:37 AM at its latest (around Mar). This page computes sunrise daily for Houston’s coordinates (29.8°N), so the Tithi, Nakshatram, Rahu Kalam and Muhurtham windows always reflect the real local day.

Why does Houston’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. Houston runs about 10.5 hours behind India and sits at latitude 29.8°N, 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 Houston.

Can Telugu festival dates differ in Houston?
Yes, sometimes. Festivals are fixed by the Tithi at local sunrise (or moonrise/midday for some). Because Houston is about 10.5 hours behind 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 Houston’s own timezone.
