July 2026 Panchang Calendar — Agra
Every tithi and nakshatra below is the one in force at Agra's own sunrise on that date — Braj sits at 78.01°E, so a day can carry a different tithi here than in a calendar computed for another meridian when a boundary falls near dawn. The lunar month is labelled by the purnimanta convention this city uses.
| Measure | Value |
|---|---|
| Lunar months spanned | Shravana–Ashadha |
| Earliest sunrise | 05:27 |
| Latest sunrise | 05:41 |
| Longest day | 830 minutes |
| Shortest day | 806 minutes |
| Ekadashi days | 1 |
| Purnima / Amavasya | 1 / 1 |
| Mornings whose tithi differs from New Delhi | 0 |
Sunrise in Agra moves from 05:27 on the 1st to 05:41 on the 31st, and sunset from 19:17 to 19:07 — the day shortens by 24 minutes across July, which drags every kaal window and every Choghadiya slot with it.
On none of the 31 mornings this month does the tithi at Agra's sunrise differ from the one at New Delhi's — every boundary this month happens to fall clear of both dawns.
The two times under each date are that morning's sunrise at Agra and the start of that day's Rahu Kaal, which is the eighth of real daylight assigned to Rahu on that weekday. Both move with the city, not just with the date: they are what a calendar computed for another meridian gets wrong even on the days it agrees about the tithi.
How far the nearest other sky is
Of the other cities computed on this site, the closest to Agra by sunrise is Noida, 163 km away, where sunrise runs up to 5.5 minutes from this one. Across the 365 mornings behind this calendar the tithi and nakshatra never differ between the two, but sunrise does, and every kaal and Choghadiya window on this site is cut from the local sunrise rather than from the tithi.
Everything on this page is read at Agra's own sunrise, from its own coordinates — 27.18°N 78.01°E — so it is not the nearest city's calendar with a name changed on it.
Observances in July 2026
| Date | Observance | Tithi it is fixed to | What the day is |
|---|---|---|---|
| 16 July | Rath Yatra | Ashadha Shukla Dvitiya | The Puri and Ahmedabad chariot processions; Bhubaneswar keeps its own rath on a different tithi in Chaitra. |
| 25 July | Devshayani Ekadashi | Ashadha Shukla Ekadashi | Chaturmas begins; the four months in which the classical texts bar most new beginnings. |
| 29 July | Guru Purnima | Ashadha Shukla Purnima | Vyasa Purnima — the teacher's full moon, and the start of the monsoon retreat. |
Why the month is named what it is here
Agra sits at the edge of Braj and takes the purnimanta month from it, which is why the Janmashtami night here is filed under Bhadrapada rather than Shravana. Braj also runs an unusually long festival tail — Radhashtami on Bhadrapada Shukla Ashtami, exactly a fortnight after Krishna's — so the paksha label on this page is doing real work in this district, not just naming a half-month.
How a festival lands on a date
None of the dates above is stored. Each observance is held here as the rule that defines it — a lunar month, a fortnight and a tithi — and resolved against the computed panchang for Agra each time this calendar is rebuilt, which is why the same festival moves through the Gregorian year and why two adjacent cities can differ by a day. The lunar month name follows the purnimanta reckoning; the intercalary adhika masa, which repeats a month name roughly every thirty-two months, is detected and its festivals are attributed to the regular month rather than the leap one.
A day is marked by the tithi standing at sunrise. Observances that are settled at another moment — Janmashtami at midnight, Diwali at pradosh, Ahoi Ashtami at starrise — can therefore be announced by a temple one day either side of the marker here, and the table above says so where it applies. Solar festivals such as Makar Sankranti are keyed to the Sun's ingress instead, which is why they barely move.
