Sunrise, Daylight & Panchangam Timings in Jeddah
Jeddah lies at latitude 21.5°N. Across 2026, sunrise in Jeddah ranges from about 5:40 AM at its earliest (around Jun) to roughly 7:04 AM at its latest (around Jan). The longest day lasts about 13.4 hours near Jun, shrinking to roughly 10.8 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 Jeddah, these windows shift too — and they differ from every city in India. That is why this page recomputes the full Panchangam for Jeddah’s own coordinates and timezone each day, instead of reusing timings calculated for another location.
Common Questions — Panchangam in Jeddah
What time is sunrise in Jeddah?
Sunrise in Jeddah is not fixed — it varies from about 5:40 AM at its earliest (around Jun) to roughly 7:04 AM at its latest (around Jan). This page computes sunrise daily for Jeddah’s coordinates (21.5°N), so the Tithi, Nakshatram, Rahu Kalam and Muhurtham windows always reflect the real local day.
Why does Jeddah’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. Jeddah runs about 2.5 hours behind India and sits at latitude 21.5°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 Jeddah.
Can Telugu festival dates differ in Jeddah?
Yes, sometimes. Festivals are fixed by the Tithi at local sunrise (or moonrise/midday for some). Because Jeddah is about 2.5 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 Jeddah’s own timezone.
