Amritsar panchang — local sunrise, tithi and rahu kaal
Amritsar panchang is a high-latitude northwest almanac: long summer days, late winter dawns, and rahu kaal windows that stretch more than in Chennai or Bengaluru.
- Coordinates
- 31.63° N, 74.87° E
- Typical sunrise
- late in December (often after 7:20 AM) and early in June
- Calendar note
- Punjabi and Sikh observances (gurpurab civil dates, some solar sangrands) overlay Hindu tithi usage in mixed households. This page provides the Hindu panchang layer for the city.
At 31.6° N, Amritsar’s seasonal swing is one of the largest among Tithi.live cities. A rahu kaal table printed in April is wrong in December. Always use the live city cards.
Families checking muhurta before a highway start toward Jammu or Delhi should use Amritsar sunrise, not a Chandigarh memory or a Delhi page.
Purnima, Amavasya and ekadashi still follow tithi. Sangrand / solar month talk is a different layer — our hindu-calendar-months guide explains the mix.
Practical tips for Amritsar
- Winter brahma muhurta is later than people from South India expect.
- Fog delays travel; it does not move rahu kaal. Plan the beginning outside the window when you can.
- Punjabi UI labels are available in the language menu.
