This page calculates the Panchangam for Chennai, Tamil Nadu from the city's own coordinates and local sunrise, so the Tithi, Vara and timings reflect Chennai rather than a single national table. In Tamil usage, Panchang is commonly searched as Panchangam, with related daily timing searches such as Nalla Neram and Rahu Kalam.
Why Panchangam for Chennai is a local calculation
Chennai sits in Tamil Nadu at about 13.0827° N, 80.2707° E. Because the Panchangam day opens at sunrise, Chennai's own sunrise sets its Vara and decides which Tithi, Nakshatra, Yoga and Karana are in force through the day.
That is why a reading for Chennai can differ from another city on the same date. Astrovarg works this page out from Chennai's coordinates on the Asia/Kolkata timezone — a local result, not a generic one. For how the five limbs are read, see the complete Panchang guide.
Nalla Neram and Rahu Kalam are related daily timing systems that Astrovarg plans to add as future timing features — they are not shown on this page yet.
Why does Panchangam for Chennai differ from other cities?
It is anchored to Chennai's local sunrise. Sunrise reaches Chennai at its own clock time, so a Tithi or Nakshatra can move onto a different day than in a city further east or west.
Is this Panchangam based on local sunrise in Chennai?
Yes. The page uses Chennai's coordinates (13.0827° N, 80.2707° E) and the Asia/Kolkata timezone, and the reading is anchored to the city's own sunrise.
Can I check another date for Chennai?
Yes. Change the date in the calculator above and Astrovarg recomputes the Panchangam for Chennai on that day.
