Sunrise, Daylight & Panchangam Timings in Zurich
Zurich lies at latitude 47.4°N. Across 2026, sunrise in Zurich ranges from about 5:29 AM at its earliest (around Jun) to roughly 8:13 AM at its latest (around Jan). The longest day lasts about 16.0 hours near Jun, shrinking to roughly 8.5 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 Zurich, these windows shift too — and they differ from every city in India. That is why this page recomputes the full Panchangam for Zurich’s own coordinates and timezone each day, instead of reusing timings calculated for another location.
Zurich keeps Central European Time (CET, UTC+1) (with daylight-saving time in the warmer months), which places it about 4 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 Zurich, so the Panchangam here cannot simply copy Indian timings. This page recomputes sunrise, sunset, Tithi, Nakshatram, Rahu Kalam and every Muhurtham from Zurich’s own coordinates (47.38°N, 8.54°E), adjusting automatically for daylight-saving time, so each value is correct for Zurich rather than for India.
Common Questions — Panchangam in Zurich
What time is sunrise in Zurich?
Sunrise in Zurich is not fixed — it varies from about 5:29 AM at its earliest (around Jun) to roughly 8:13 AM at its latest (around Jan). This page computes sunrise daily for Zurich’s coordinates (47.4°N), so the Tithi, Nakshatram, Rahu Kalam and Muhurtham windows always reflect the real local day.
Why does Zurich’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. Zurich runs about 3.5 hours behind India and sits at latitude 47.4°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 Zurich.
Can Telugu festival dates differ in Zurich?
Yes, sometimes. Festivals are fixed by the Tithi at local sunrise (or moonrise/midday for some). Because Zurich is about 3.5 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 Zurich’s own timezone.
