Patna panchang — local sunrise, tithi and rahu kaal
Patna panchang is the Bihar capital almanac: Gangetic sunrise, Chhath-sensitive solar times, and tithi that families actually argue about at the breakfast table.
- Coordinates
- 25.59° N, 85.14° E
- Typical sunrise
- about 5:05–6:50 AM IST
- Calendar note
- Chhath, Pitru Paksha and many Bihar household vratas are strictly tithi- and sunrise-linked. A wrong city clock is not a small error on those days.
Chhath sandhya and ushha are solar-horizon rituals. Using a Delhi or Lucknow sunrise for a Patna ghat is the kind of mistake this city page exists to prevent.
Pitru Paksha amavasya and ekadashi fasting are tithi-led. Read the day’s cards the evening before you travel to a ghat.
Eastern IST means earlier mornings than Jaipur or Mumbai. Brahma muhurta should be reset from this page, not from a national poster.
Practical tips for Patna
- Hindi UI is the default comfort path for most Patna users.
- Festival month view flags Chhath clusters; daily cards give the exact sunrise.
- Do not apply a Kolkata rahu kaal to a Patna registry slot.
