Sunrise, Daylight & Panchangam Timings in Los Angeles
Los Angeles lies at latitude 34.0°N. Across 2026, sunrise in Los Angeles ranges from about 5:41 AM at its earliest (around Jun) to roughly 7:10 AM at its latest (around Mar). The longest day lasts about 14.4 hours near Jun, shrinking to roughly 9.9 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 Los Angeles, these windows shift too — and they differ from every city in India. That is why this page recomputes the full Panchangam for Los Angeles’s own coordinates and timezone each day, instead of reusing timings calculated for another location.
Common Questions — Panchangam in Los Angeles
What time is sunrise in Los Angeles?
Sunrise in Los Angeles is not fixed — it varies from about 5:41 AM at its earliest (around Jun) to roughly 7:10 AM at its latest (around Mar). This page computes sunrise daily for Los Angeles’s coordinates (34.0°N), so the Tithi, Nakshatram, Rahu Kalam and Muhurtham windows always reflect the real local day.
Why does Los Angeles’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. Los Angeles runs about 12.5 hours behind India and sits at latitude 34.0°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 Los Angeles.
Can Telugu festival dates differ in Los Angeles?
Yes, sometimes. Festivals are fixed by the Tithi at local sunrise (or moonrise/midday for some). Because Los Angeles is about 12.5 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 Los Angeles’s own timezone.
