The tithi and nakshatra shown are those at local sunrise on the selected date. They can change during the day; their end times mark the next transition.

Sunrise and sunset depend on your location. Tithi transitions occur at the same instant worldwide, but their local clock times differ. The tithi present at sunrise can therefore differ between places.

Tithi — the lunar day

Each 12° interval of the Moon’s angular separation from the Sun is one tithi. A tithi can start or end at any hour; it is not a fixed 24-hour day.

Nakshatra — the Moon’s position

The sidereal zodiac is divided into 27 equal sections. The section containing the Moon at sunrise gives the nakshatra shown here.

Calculation method

Sun and Moon positions are calculated with Swiss Ephemeris. Rashi and nakshatra use the sidereal zodiac with Lahiri ayanamsa, the adjustment between tropical and sidereal positions.

Astronomy and traditional guidance

Celestial positions and rise/set times come from astronomical calculations. Rahu Kaal and auspicious muhurat labels apply traditional Jyotish rules to those timings; they are not scientific predictions of personal outcomes.

Timing limitations

If the sunrise or sunset calculation is unavailable, approximate times may be used. This result does not identify whether that fallback was used. A missing Moon time means the time is unavailable, not proof that the Moon does not rise or set that day.

A Panchang for Siliguri is the day's Hindu almanac computed from the city's own sunrise, sunset and coordinates, never one standard clock. It reads five angas together — Tithi, Vara, Nakshatra, Yoga and Karana — to describe the day's quality and choose supportive timings for puja, vrat and new beginnings.

Coordinates

26.73°N, 88.40°E

As the gateway to Darjeeling, Sikkim, Bhutan, and the Northeast, Siliguri hosts a uniquely multi-faith heritage, and Janmashtami here draws some of West Bengal's largest ISKCON gatherings. Panchang, choghadiya, and rahu kaal timings are computed for Siliguri's exact coordinates.

Siliguri's solar year — sunrise, sunset and day length

In Siliguri the longest day runs 13h 40m (June) and the shortest 10h 20m (December) — a seasonal swing of 3h 20m. Solar noon falls −23m from the 12:00 clock hour because Siliguri sits at 88.4°E rather than on the 82.5°E IST meridian. Every Tithi, Nakshatra and Rahu Kaal window on this page is derived from that sunrise, not from a national average.

Which places near Siliguri can read these Panchang timings

Naksalbari lies 18 km west of Siliguri and sees sunrise 0m to +1m against it, so the sunrise row of this Panchang moves by that much there. Across every place listed below the shift runs −5m to +5m and each of the eight daylight periods keeps the same length it has here, so the periods do not stretch — only the boundary moves.

Tithi (तिथि)

Lunar day — the angular relationship between Sun and Moon. 30 Tithis per lunar month.

Nakshatra (नक्षत्र)

Yoga (योग)

Combination of Sun and Moon longitudes. 27 Yogas from Vishkambha to Vaidhriti.

Karana (करण)

Half-Tithi — there are 11 Karanas, cycling through 60 Karanas in a lunar month.

Vara (वार)

Day of the week, each ruled by a planet (Sun=Sunday through Saturn=Saturday).

Siliguri Festivals & Panchang

Siliguri's major festivals — — are calculated using the Hindu lunisolar calendar. Festival dates change each year because the lunar calendar drifts against the solar calendar. The Panchang above shows today's Tithi and Nakshatra. For complete annual festival almanacs with specific timings for Siliguri, use the Ishvaram Jyotish app.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is today's Panchang calculated for Siliguri?

The Panchang for Siliguri is calculated using Swiss Ephemeris with Siliguri's exact coordinates (West Bengal, latitude/longitude). Sunrise in Siliguri ranges from 4:47–6:31 AM seasonally, which affects the start of each Tithi. The Panchang shows today's Tithi, Nakshatra, Yoga, Karana, and planetary positions — all calibrated to Siliguri's local time.

Can nearby towns like Naksalbari use Siliguri's Panchang timings?

Almost, with a small shift. Naksalbari lies 18 km west of Siliguri and sees sunrise 0m to +1m against it, so the sunrise row of this Panchang moves by that much there. Across the recorded places within 150 km of Siliguri that shift stays between −5m and +5m through the year — the nearby-place table above lists each one. For a town whose shift runs past a few minutes, compute with its own coordinates instead of copying Siliguri's slot.

Why are Siliguri's Panchang timings different from other cities?

Panchang timings vary because they are based on actual astronomical observations for a specific location. Siliguri's sunrise (4:47–6:31 AM), longitude, and latitude determine the precise start and end times of Tithis, Nakshatras, and Yogas. A Siliguri Panchang uses the city's actual coordinates rather than a single standard Indian time.

When is undefined in Siliguri in 2025–2026?

undefined dates are determined by the Hindu lunisolar calendar and are the same across India, though local observance customs vary. The Panchang above shows today's Tithi and Nakshatra, which you can use to track approaching festivals. For annual festival calendars, the Ishvaram Jyotish app provides complete Indian festival almanacs with Siliguri-specific timing where relevant.
