About Today's Panchang in Surat
Panchang, the traditional Vedic almanac, is calculated uniquely for each location based on local sunrise and sunset times. Since Surat is at latitude 21.17°N and longitude 72.83°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 Surat and update daily.
Residents of Surat 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 Surat-specific auspicious timings listed above.
Surat’s diamond and textile merchant communities have made Shubh Muhurat consultation a daily habit — opening showrooms, signing contracts, and starting Vikram Samvat business years are all timed by the Panchang. Local temples like Ambaji Mata Mandir and the Swaminarayan complex keep Gujarati Amanta timings central to community festivals like Janmashtami and Navratri.
