Sunrise, Daylight & Panchangam Timings in Melbourne
Melbourne lies at latitude 37.8°S. Across 2026, sunrise in Melbourne ranges from about 5:51 AM at its earliest (around Dec) to roughly 7:37 AM at its latest (around Jun). The longest day lasts about 14.8 hours near Dec, shrinking to roughly 9.5 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 Melbourne, these windows shift too — and they differ from every city in India. That is why this page recomputes the full Panchangam for Melbourne’s own coordinates and timezone each day, instead of reusing timings calculated for another location.
Common Questions — Panchangam in Melbourne
What time is sunrise in Melbourne?
Sunrise in Melbourne is not fixed — it varies from about 5:51 AM at its earliest (around Dec) to roughly 7:37 AM at its latest (around Jun). This page computes sunrise daily for Melbourne’s coordinates (37.8°S), so the Tithi, Nakshatram, Rahu Kalam and Muhurtham windows always reflect the real local day.
Why does Melbourne’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. Melbourne runs about 4.5 hours ahead of India and sits at latitude 37.8°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 Melbourne.
Can Telugu festival dates differ in Melbourne?
Yes, sometimes. Festivals are fixed by the Tithi at local sunrise (or moonrise/midday for some). Because Melbourne 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 Melbourne’s own timezone.
