पुणे पंचांग · Pune Panchang Monday, 28 September 2026 · Bhadrapada Krishna Dvitiya · Punyanagari
Sunrise in Pune, Maharashtra is 06:25 IST today — 12 minutes later than New Delhi, because the city sits at 73.86°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 Pune
The Ashadhi wari sets out from Alandi and Dehu, both within Pune district, and walks to Pandharpur to arrive on Ashadha Shukla Ekadashi — a departure date that is fixed by tithi and therefore moves through June and July every year. Ganeshotsav's public form began in this city in 1893, which is why Pune's Bhadrapada Shukla Chaturthi timings are still quoted as a benchmark by mandals elsewhere.
Pune is running Bhadrapada Krishna Dvitiya today, which holds until 19:19. Keep anything you are starting fresh outside Rahu Kaal 07:55–09:25; the cleanest window of the day is Abhijit at 12:01–12:49.

Frequently asked questions
What time is sunrise in Pune today, and why does it differ from New Delhi?
Sunrise in Pune today is 06:25 IST and sunset is 18:26 IST — 12 minutes later than New Delhi. The cause is longitude, not the calendar: the whole country keeps one clock set to 82.5°E while Pune sits at 73.86°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 Pune, and does it change the tithi?
Pune reads its month amanta, ending at the new moon, and the Marathi panchang tradition the city publishes is one of the most technically conservative in India — the Datey and Tilak panchangs argued over ayanamsa in print for decades. This page uses Lahiri, the government-adopted value, and says so rather than leaving you to infer it; if your family panchang uses a different ayanamsa, expect boundary times a few minutes apart from these. 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 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 Pune's actual coordinates (18.5204°N, 73.8567°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.
