उज्जैन पंचांग · Ujjain Panchang Monday, 28 September 2026 · Ashwin Krishna Dvitiya · Avantika
Sunrise in Ujjain, Madhya Pradesh is 06:17 IST today — 5 minutes later than New Delhi, because the city sits at 75.79°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 Ujjain
The Bhasma Aarti at Mahakaleshwar is offered before sunrise — the only jyotirlinga where the ash rite is daily — so the queue there is set by an hour that precedes every time on this page. Ujjain's Simhastha Kumbh comes when Jupiter enters Simha, a twelve-year planetary condition rather than a tithi, and this page does not compute it; what it does compute is the Shravan Somvar sequence, when the Mahakal sawari goes through the town on the Mondays of that lunar month.
Ujjain is running Ashwin Krishna Dvitiya today, which holds until 19:21. Keep anything you are starting fresh outside Rahu Kaal 07:48–09:18; the cleanest window of the day is Abhijit at 11:54–12:42.

Frequently asked questions
What time is sunrise in Ujjain today, and why does it differ from New Delhi?
Sunrise in Ujjain today is 06:17 IST and sunset is 18:18 IST — 5 minutes later than New Delhi. The cause is longitude, not the calendar: the whole country keeps one clock set to 82.5°E while Ujjain sits at 75.79°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 Ujjain, and does it change the tithi?
Ujjain has a claim no other city on this site can make: the Surya Siddhanta and the siddhantic tradition after it fixed the prime meridian of Indian astronomy through this town, and Indian local time was reckoned from Ujjain's longitude for centuries before it was reckoned from anywhere else. The month here is read purnimanta. Every figure on this page is computed for Ujjain's own 75.79°E rather than inherited from that historical meridian, which sits about twenty-five minutes of clock time ahead of the modern IST reference at 82.5°E. 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 Ujjain's actual coordinates (23.1765°N, 75.7885°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.
