Sunrise, Daylight & Panchangam Timings in Phoenix
Phoenix lies at latitude 33.5°N. Across 2026, sunrise in Phoenix ranges from about 5:18 AM at its earliest (around Jun) to roughly 7:33 AM at its latest (around Jan). 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 Phoenix, these windows shift too — and they differ from every city in India. That is why this page recomputes the full Panchangam for Phoenix’s own coordinates and timezone each day, instead of reusing timings calculated for another location.
Phoenix keeps US Mountain Time (Arizona, UTC−7) (with no daylight-saving changes), which places it about 12 hours 30 minutes behind India (IST). A Tithi or Nakshatram that rules a given clock hour in India therefore begins at a shifted local time in Phoenix, so the Panchangam here cannot simply copy Indian timings. This page recomputes sunrise, sunset, Tithi, Nakshatram, Rahu Kalam and every Muhurtham from Phoenix’s own coordinates (33.45°N, 112.07°W) so each value is correct for Phoenix rather than for India.
Common Questions — Panchangam in Phoenix
What time is sunrise in Phoenix?
Sunrise in Phoenix is not fixed — it varies from about 5:18 AM at its earliest (around Jun) to roughly 7:33 AM at its latest (around Jan). This page computes sunrise daily for Phoenix’s coordinates (33.5°N), so the Tithi, Nakshatram, Rahu Kalam and Muhurtham windows always reflect the real local day.
Why does Phoenix’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. Phoenix runs about 12.5 hours behind India and sits at latitude 33.5°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 Phoenix.
Can Telugu festival dates differ in Phoenix?
Yes, sometimes. Festivals are fixed by the Tithi at local sunrise (or moonrise/midday for some). Because Phoenix 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 Phoenix’s own timezone.
