Sunrise, Daylight & Panchangam Timings in Ottawa
Ottawa lies at latitude 45.4°N. Across 2026, sunrise in Ottawa ranges from about 5:14 AM at its earliest (around Jun) to roughly 7:43 AM at its latest (around Jan). The longest day lasts about 15.7 hours near Jun, shrinking to roughly 8.7 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 Ottawa, these windows shift too — and they differ from every city in India. That is why this page recomputes the full Panchangam for Ottawa’s own coordinates and timezone each day, instead of reusing timings calculated for another location.
Common Questions — Panchangam in Ottawa
What time is sunrise in Ottawa?
Sunrise in Ottawa is not fixed — it varies from about 5:14 AM at its earliest (around Jun) to roughly 7:43 AM at its latest (around Jan). This page computes sunrise daily for Ottawa’s coordinates (45.4°N), so the Tithi, Nakshatram, Rahu Kalam and Muhurtham windows always reflect the real local day.
Why does Ottawa’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. Ottawa runs about 9.5 hours behind India and sits at latitude 45.4°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 Ottawa.
Can Telugu festival dates differ in Ottawa?
Yes, sometimes. Festivals are fixed by the Tithi at local sunrise (or moonrise/midday for some). Because Ottawa is about 9.5 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 Ottawa’s own timezone.
