Frequently asked questions
Why is Rahu Kaal at a different time each day in Melbourne?
Rahu Kaal is one-eighth of the time between local sunrise and sunset, so it moves with the seasons. In Melbourne it lasts about 1h 51m around the December solstice and 1h 12m around the June solstice.
Which time zone are these Melbourne timings in?
All times are local Melbourne time (Australia/Melbourne), which is 5.5 hours ahead of India (IST) in January. Melbourne observes daylight saving time, and the timings switch automatically when the clocks change.
Are Hindu festival dates in Melbourne the same as in India?
Not always. Over the next 12 months, 13 of the 35 major festivals listed here fall on a different date in Melbourne than in New Delhi. Festival dates depend on the tithi at local sunrise, midday or midnight, so the local date is the correct one to observe in Melbourne.
