Monday, Krishna Tadiya of Shravana, with the tithi running until 08:54 AM. No festival or major vratam falls today — an ordinary day, which is most of them.
Krishna Tadiya is a jaya — victorious tithi: Contest, courage and resolve. The moon is in Revati, safe passage — the last nakshatra, and a kind one, holding until 03:24 AM, and the yoga is Ganda.
The day runs from 05:58 AM to 06:21 PM. Abhijit muhurta — the window centred on solar noon and held open to nearly anything — falls between 11:45 AM and 12:34 PM. Rahu kalam runs 07:31 AM to 09:04 AM.
The moon stands in Simha. Abhijit muhurta, the window centred on solar noon, falls between 11:45 AM and 12:34 PM. All of these are computed for Chennai; change the city in the header and they move with it.
Timings are computed astronomically for the selected city and cross-referenced against the traditional panchangams in common use. Regional practice can differ by a day — please confirm important dates with the panchangam your family follows.
Sunrise and sunset in Chennai
Every timing on this page — rahu kalam, yamagandam, gulika kalam and abhijit muhurta — is a fraction of the time between sunrise and sunset at Chennai, so all of them move with the season. Across 2026 the sun rises here as early as 05:41 and as late as 06:36, a swing of 54 minutes, and the daylight it encloses runs from 11 hours 21 minutes at the shortest to 12 hours 54 minutes at the longest.
Solar noon at Chennai falls about 18 minutes earlier than at Ujjain, the reference meridian printed panchangams are calculated to. That gap is the usual reason a timing here does not match the one on a wall calendar — neither is wrong; they are computed for different places.
