About Today's Panchang in Chennai
Panchang, the traditional Vedic almanac, is calculated uniquely for each location based on local sunrise and sunset times. Since Chennai is at latitude 13.08°N and longitude 80.27°E, its Panchang timings are distinct from those of other Indian cities. The five core elements — Tithi (lunar day), Nakshatra (star), Yoga, Karana (half-day), and Vara (weekday) — shown above are current for Chennai and update daily.
Residents of Chennai can use this Panchang to plan auspicious activities during the Shubh Muhurat windows and avoid significant decisions during Rahu Kaal, Yamaganda, and Gulika Kaal. For ceremonies like weddings, griha pravesh, or starting a new business, consult the Chennai-specific auspicious timings listed above.
