Bengaluru panchang — local sunrise, tithi and rahu kaal
Bengaluru panchang is calculated for the city’s latitude and local sunrise, not for a generic “India time.” Rahu kaal, brahma muhurta and sunset therefore differ from Delhi or Kolkata on the same English date.
- Coordinates
- 12.97° N, 77.59° E
- Typical sunrise
- about 6:00–6:30 AM IST through most of the year
- Calendar note
- Kannada-speaking households often follow regional panchanga print editions alongside a national lunar tithi. Festival names may appear in Kannada; the underlying tithi is the same astronomical day.
Because Bengaluru sits farther south than the Hindi belt, its solar day length stays comparatively even across seasons. That means rahu kaal windows do not stretch as dramatically in June as they do in Delhi, and winter sunrises are not as late as in the far north. If you moved from North India, do not reuse a Delhi screenshot for a Bengaluru meeting.
Software and office culture in the city makes weekday rahu kaal a practical planning field: many families still avoid signing a lease, starting a long drive to Mysuru or initiating a housewarming during the marked window. Everyday stand-ups and already-running work are not “blocked.” Use the caution window for beginnings, not for panic.
Temple schedules around Basavanagudi, Malleswaram and the outer IT corridors still track local sunrise for sandhya and some vrat parana times. Ekadashi, Sankashti and Shivaratri crowds are easier to plan when you know the city’s tithi at sunrise rather than a WhatsApp forward from another state.
Tithi.live’s Bengaluru page is meant to be a morning habit: confirm tithi and nakshatra, note rahu kaal before travel, then open festivals if a vrat falls this week. Pair it with our guides on tithi and rahu kaal if a term is new.
Practical tips for Bengaluru
- Always label shared timings “Bengaluru” so relatives in other cities do not apply the same clock.
- Kannada UI is available in the header language menu if elders prefer native labels.
- For wedding muhurta, treat this page as a first filter and confirm with a local purohit who knows family sampradaya.
