Frequently asked questions

Why is Rahu Kaal at a different time each day in Chennai?

Rahu Kaal is one-eighth of the time between local sunrise and sunset, so it moves with the seasons. In Chennai it lasts about 1h 37m around the June solstice and 1h 25m around the December solstice.

Which time zone are these Chennai timings in?

All times are local Chennai time (Asia/Kolkata), which is the same as India (IST). Chennai does not use daylight saving time.

Are Hindu festival dates in Chennai the same as in India?

Over the next 12 months, all 35 major festivals listed here fall on the same date in Chennai as in New Delhi. Because dates are set by the tithi at local sunrise, midday or midnight, they can occasionally differ, so always check the local date.
