Panchang — the five angas पञ्चाङ्ग

Tithi, Nakshatra, Yoga, Karana and Vara with their end-times, plus the month and the Moon’s and Sun’s signs — computed for this city’s sunrise. Times after midnight use the traditional extended clock (e.g. 27:23 = 03:23 next morning).

Tithi: Purnimaपूर्णिमाtill 17:47then Pratipadaप्रतिपदाtill 38:13
What this means
The lunar day. It is set by how far the Moon has pulled ahead of the Sun — each 12 degrees of separation is one tithi. The tithi shapes which activities the tradition favours, and it ends at the time shown, when the next one begins.
Muhurta Chintamani — Tithi-prakaranam (Nanda/Bhadra/Jaya/Rikta/Purna tithi-types)
Nakshatra: Punarvasuपुनर्वसुtill 10:25

Sidereal (Lahiri) ephemeris; anga end-times computed to the city’s actual sunrise. “Adhika maas” marks an intercalary lunar month (no solar sankranti within it).

How we compute this panchang

Every time on this page is calculated from the actual positions of the Sun and Moon using the Swiss Ephemeris (the same high-precision astronomical engine used by professional astronomers), not from a printed almanac or a fixed table.

Sidereal zodiac, Lahiri ayanamsha — the standard used by the Indian government calendar (ayanamsha for this date: 24.2351°). All nakshatra, rashi, tithi and yoga boundaries follow from it.
Local true sunrise — muhurta windows (Rahu Kaal, Choghadiya, Hora, Abhijit and the rest) are measured from the true sunrise computed for Chennai's exact coordinates, so they are correct for your location, not a regional approximation.
Two month conventions — we show both the Amanta (new-moon-to-new-moon) and Purnimanta (full-moon-to-full-moon) lunar month, because different regions of India follow different ones; an Adhika (intercalary) month is marked when it occurs.

Significance and auspicious/inauspicious flags are drawn from classical texts (Muhurta Chintamani, Brihat Samhita, the Puranas and others) and cited inline — we never assert an effect a text does not state.

Disha Shool - Chennai, 22 January 2027

On Friday, the 22nd of January 2027, the Vedic calendar in Chennai carries a day of particular rhythmic quality. Sunrise arrives at 6:36 AM and dipping below the horizon at 6:04 PM, bringing 11 hours 27 minutes of daylight. The tithi is Purnima of the Shukla fortnight, and the nakshatra of the day is Punarvasu. The day carries the Vishkambha yoga, completing the core panchang signature for 2027-01-22. Brahma Muhurta, the pre-dawn meditation window, runs from 5:00 AM to 5:48 AM.

In Chennai, Rahu Kala runs from 10:54 AM to 12:20 PM — the period to avoid for new endeavours. The inauspicious direction (Disha Shool) for Friday is West; new ventures toward the West are traditionally deferred. On the auspicious side, Labh choghadiya, running 8:02 AM to 9:28 AM, stands out as the best muhurta. Punarvasu nakshatra is under the lordship of Jupiter, bringing the ancient panchang frame into direct contact with Chennai's horizon.

Frequently Asked Questions

In Chennai on 22 January 2027, Rahu Kaal runs from 10:54 AM to 12:20 PM. This 90-minute window is governed by Rahu and is traditionally avoided for starting new work, travel, or auspicious ceremonies. The timing shifts daily based on local sunrise, so it differs from city to city.

Why is sunrise in Chennai on 22 January 2027 at 6:36 AM?

The exact sunrise and sunset (6:04 PM) define the length of the Vedic day and anchor all panchang calculations — from Rahu Kaal to the choghadiya slots — to Chennai's local horizon.
