Ujjain panchang — local sunrise, tithi and rahu kaal
Ujjain panchang carries extra cultural weight: Mahakal, Simhastha heritage, and the historical time-reference of Indian astronomy. Timings on this page are still Ujjain’s local sunrise, not a national standard clock.

- Calendar note
- Ujjain is the classical Indian prime meridian in many jyotish texts (Lanka–Ujjain axis). Using Ujjain panchang as a spiritual reference is traditional; using it as the clock for a Delhi ceremony is not.
Many printed panchangs mention Ujjain because classical texts measured longitude from this region. That is a scholarly reference. Your rahu kaal in Bengaluru must still use Bengaluru sunrise. Open the Ujjain page when you are in Ujjain — or when you specifically want this city’s almanac.
Mahashivaratri, Bhasma aarti planning, and pilgrimage days around the Mahakaleshwar corridor are tithi- and sunrise-sensitive. Crowds follow festival tithi; your personal sadhana can follow brahma muhurta on this page.
Day length at 23° N shifts with the tropic; summer dawns are earlier than a Pune winter morning. Recheck rather than memorising one table.
Tithi.live treats Ujjain as a first-class city hub equal to metros, because the meridians of tradition should be as easy to read as a software-city dashboard.
Practical tips for Ujjain
- Pilgrims should not apply Ujjain rahu kaal after they have already reached another city.
- Simhastha / Kumbh civil dates are announced separately; use festival listings plus this daily panchang.
- Read the hindu-calendar-months guide to understand why some month names differ from your home region.
