मुंबई पंचांग · Mumbai Panchang Friday, 31 July 2026 · Ashadha Krishna Dvitiya · Bombay
Sunrise in Mumbai, Maharashtra is 06:15 IST today — 33 minutes later than New Delhi, because the city sits at 72.88°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 Mumbai
Mumbai's calendar bends around Bhadrapada Shukla Chaturthi. Ganesh Chaturthi installs the murti on that tithi and the visarjan processions run to Anant Chaturdashi ten days later, with the mandal timings set by the madhyahna window around local noon rather than by the clock hour. Because Mumbai sits at 72.88°E, its sunrise is among the latest of any city on this site, and every window on this page shifts with it.
Mumbai is running Ashadha Krishna Dvitiya today, which holds until 22:19. Keep anything you are starting fresh outside Rahu Kaal 11:07–12:45; the cleanest window of the day is Abhijit at 12:19–13:11.

Frequently asked questions
What time is sunrise in Mumbai today, and why does it differ from New Delhi?
Sunrise in Mumbai today is 06:15 IST and sunset is 19:15 IST — 33 minutes later than New Delhi. The cause is longitude, not the calendar: the whole country keeps one clock set to 82.5°E while Mumbai sits at 72.88°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 Mumbai, and does it change the tithi?
Maharashtra reckons the lunar month amanta — it ends at the new moon — so this page labels Mumbai's month the way a Marathi panchang does. The practical consequence is a name shift, never a date shift: the night a Delhi almanac calls Bhadrapada Krishna Ashtami, a Mumbai almanac calls Shravan Krishna Ashtami, and both mean the same Janmashtami. The Marathi year itself opens on Gudi Padwa, Chaitra Shukla Pratipada, when the gudi goes up before the household has eaten. Today the amanta reckoning calls this month Ashadha and the purnimanta reckoning calls it Shravana; the tithi is the same number in both. If you were quoted a date in the purnimanta 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 Mumbai's actual coordinates (19.0760°N, 72.8777°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.
