Open the workings

The sky gives us the boundaries.
Tradition gives us the divisions.

01 / The horizon

Sunrise and sunset use Astronomy Engine 2.1.19: the Sun’s upper edge, standard atmospheric refraction and an unobstructed horizon. This preview uses approximate city-centre coordinates and zero elevation. Buildings, terrain and actual weather can change what you observe.

Read the engine’s rise/set definition ↗

02 / The local day

The selected date belongs to the city’s time zone. Daylight-saving changes are applied on that date. Day tables run from sunrise to sunset; night tables end at the next sunrise, even when that falls on tomorrow’s calendar date.

Compare with the U.S. Naval Observatory ↗

03 / The rule

Rahu Kalam uses one of eight equal daylight divisions, chosen by weekday. Choghadiya divides day and night into eight parts each; Hora divides each into twelve and follows its planetary cycle. These are traditional timing systems, not forecasts of an outcome.

Can I use this as a complete muhurat or Panchang?

These are daily solar timing tables. They do not yet include tithi, nakshatra, yoga, karana, Vaar Vela, Kaal Vela, Kaal Ratri or birth-chart checks. A named Choghadiya is not a complete event recommendation. Specialist review is pending for the preview’s traditional rules.
