Hyderabad panchang — local sunrise, tithi and rahu kaal
Hyderabad panchang is the Deccan reference for tithi, rahu kaal and muhurta in Telangana — distinct from both Chennai’s east-coast sunrise and Mumbai’s west-coast clock.
- Coordinates
- 17.39° N, 78.49° E
- Typical sunrise
- about 5:45–6:50 AM IST across the year
- Calendar note
- Telugu panchangam traditions (including regional festival names) sit on the same tithi/nakshatra astronomy. Ugadi and some Telugu observances are easier to plan when the city sunrise is correct.
Hyderabad’s longitude sits well east of Mumbai, so morning rituals and office starts do not share clock times with the west coast. Using a Mumbai rahu kaal image in a Hyderabad WhatsApp group is one of the most common panchang mistakes we see.
Bonalu, Ugadi, Bathukamma and Karthika month observances in the city are lunar-solar hybrids: the festival name is cultural; the day-of is tithi and sometimes solar sankranti. The daily cards give you the astronomical layer; the festival month view flags named events.
IT-corridor households often need a 30-second check: tithi (is it ekadashi?), rahu kaal (can we sign at 11?), sunrise (is brahma muhurta realistic today?). That is exactly the job of this city page.
Telugu and Hindi UI labels are available. The underlying Hyderabad coordinates do not change with language.
Practical tips for Hyderabad
- For Charminar-area temple visits, use this Hyderabad page, not a generic “India panchang.”
- Ugadi civil dates move; confirm the current year’s tithi rather than last year’s greeting card.
- Abhijit muhurta around local noon is a better ordinary-start window than forcing a late-evening beginning.
Rahu kaal weekday pattern (daytime eighths)
The clock changes with Hyderabad sunrise and sunset. The weekday part of daytime is traditional and the same rule everywhere. Use the live card above for today’s exact window.
| Weekday | Daytime part | When it usually falls |
|---|---|---|
| Sunday | 8th part (last eighth of daytime) | late afternoon toward sunset |
| Monday | 2nd part of daytime | early morning after sunrise |
| Tuesday | 7th part of daytime | mid-to-late afternoon |
| Wednesday | 5th part of daytime | early afternoon |
| Thursday | 6th part of daytime | mid-afternoon |
| Friday | 3rd part of daytime | late morning |
| Saturday | 1st part of daytime | just after sunrise |
