गुवाहाटी पंचांग · Guwahati Panchang Monday, 28 September 2026 · Ashwin Krishna Dvitiya · Pragjyotishpura
Sunrise in Guwahati, Assam is 05:14 IST today — 58 minutes earlier than New Delhi, because the city sits at 91.74°E on a clock set for 82.5°E. Every reading below is taken at that sunrise, which is the traditional anchor, so the boundary times here can differ by minutes from an almanac typeset for another meridian.

Today in Guwahati
Ambubachi at Kamakhya is the one major Indian mela timed to neither tithi nor full moon: the temple closes for three days from the Sun's passage through Ardra in Ashadha and reopens on the fourth, so its dates follow a nakshatra-and-solar rule. Guwahati is also the easternmost city on this site at 91.74°E, which is why its sunrise here is the earliest of the thirty and its clock time feels most out of step with the sky.
Guwahati is running Ashwin Krishna Dvitiya today, which holds until 19:20. Keep anything you are starting fresh outside Rahu Kaal 06:44–08:14; the cleanest window of the day is Abhijit at 10:50–11:38.

Frequently asked questions
What time is sunrise in Guwahati today, and why does it differ from New Delhi?
Sunrise in Guwahati today is 05:14 IST and sunset is 17:13 IST — 58 minutes earlier than New Delhi. The cause is longitude, not the calendar: the whole country keeps one clock set to 82.5°E while Guwahati sits at 91.74°E, and every degree is worth about four minutes of sky. Everything on this page — the tithi and nakshatra readings, Rahu Kaal, Yamaganda, Gulika and the Choghadiya split — is anchored to that local sunrise rather than to a Delhi almanac's.
Which lunar-month system does this page use for Guwahati, and does it change the tithi?
Assam dates civil life by a solar calendar whose year opens at Bohag Bihu on the Sun's entry into Mesha — the same ingress Punjab keeps as Baisakhi and Tamil Nadu as Puthandu, on the same day, under three names. The lunar month labelled on this page follows the purnimanta convention and is used here for tithi-based observance; an Assamese panji will index the day solar instead. Today the amanta reckoning calls this month Bhadrapada and the purnimanta reckoning calls it Ashwin; the tithi is the same number in both. If you were quoted a date in the amanta system, the day is still the same day.
What this page cannot tell you
This is a panchang, not a birth chart. The tithi, nakshatra, yoga, karana and kaal windows above are the same for everyone standing in this city today; none of them knows your Moon sign, your running dasha, or the lagna that would rise at the hour you pick. Several observances also follow a rule this page does not apply — Janmashtami is settled at midnight, Diwali at pradosh, some ekadashi vratas by their parana window — so a temple's announced date can sit a day either side of the tithi marked here. Where that matters, check against your own family almanac; a disagreement between two panchangs is usually a difference of convention, not of fact.
How these timings were computed
Sunrise and sunset come from a NOAA solar-position model applied to Guwahati's actual coordinates (26.1445°N, 91.7362°E), not to a district centroid or a state capital. Tithi, nakshatra, yoga and karana are read at that same local sunrise from a sidereal ephemeris using the Lahiri ayanamsa, and their end times are found by bisection to about a minute. Rahu Kaal, Yamaganda and Gulika are the weekday-selected eighths of the real daylight span, which is why they move through the year instead of sitting at a fixed clock hour. Nothing on this page is copied from a printed almanac.
