सूरत पंचांग · Surat Panchang Friday, 31 July 2026 · Ashadha Krishna Dvitiya · Suryapur
Sunrise in Surat, Gujarat is 06:12 IST today — 30 minutes later than New Delhi, because the city sits at 72.83°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 Surat
Chandi Padvo is Surat's own tithi: the day after Sharad Purnima in Ashwin, when the city eats ghari through the night under the brightest full moon of the year. It exists because Sharad Purnima's moonlight is itself the observance, so the festival waits for the Purnima to finish rather than for a date. Surat sits at 72.83°E, so its sunset is among the latest on this site and that moon rises correspondingly late.
Surat is running Ashadha Krishna Dvitiya today, which holds until 22:20. 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 Surat today, and why does it differ from New Delhi?
Sunrise in Surat today is 06:12 IST and sunset is 19:18 IST — 30 minutes later than New Delhi. The cause is longitude, not the calendar: the whole country keeps one clock set to 82.5°E while Surat sits at 72.83°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 Surat, and does it change the tithi?
Surat shares Gujarat's amanta month and its Kartik Shukla Pratipada new year, so the Samvat number on a Surat shop's new ledger changes the morning after Diwali rather than in spring. Traders here still open the chopda pujan books on Diwali evening itself, in the Amavasya window whose end time is computed on this page. 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 Surat's actual coordinates (21.1702°N, 72.8311°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.
