How the Varanasi Panchang is worked out
Every time on this page is calculated for Varanasi itself (latitude 25.32° N, longitude 83.01° E, time zone Asia/Kolkata): the Sun’s and Moon’s positions in the sidereal zodiac with the Lahiri ayanamsa, and sunrise and sunset for this latitude and longitude. The tithi, nakshatra, yoga and karana change at the same moment everywhere, but the clock time shown is Varanasi’s.
For Varanasi the lunar month is named the Purnimanta way, as North Indian Panchangs do: the month ends on the full moon. Panchangs from Maharashtra, Gujarat and the south end it on the new moon (Amanta), so in the dark fortnight they give the previous month’s name; the Panchang above shows both when they differ.
Today sunrise in Varanasi comes 29 minutes earlier than in New Delhi, and Rahu Kaal, the choghadiya and every other sunrise-based time move with it. That is why a Panchang made for another city can be wrong by that much here.
