Common Questions — Panchangam in Vijayawada
What time is sunrise in Vijayawada?
Sunrise in Vijayawada is not fixed — it varies from about 5:34 AM at its earliest (around Jun) to roughly 6:40 AM at its latest (around Jan). This page computes sunrise daily for Vijayawada’s coordinates (16.5°N), so the Tithi, Nakshatram, Rahu Kalam and Muhurtham windows always reflect the real local day.
Why can Vijayawada’s Rahu Kalam differ from a printed almanac?
Rahu Kalam is one-eighth of the daytime, measured from local sunrise to sunset. Even within India, sunrise at Vijayawada (16.5°N) differs from cities further east or west by several minutes, so the eight daily slots fall at slightly different clock times. This page uses Vijayawada’s computed local sunrise rather than a single reference city.
Can Telugu festival dates differ in Vijayawada?
Occasionally. Festivals are fixed by the Tithi (and sometimes moonrise or midday) at local sunrise. Within India the differences are small, but a Tithi that ends close to sunrise can still place a festival on a different day between far-apart cities. Every festival date shown here is computed for Vijayawada.
