About Mumbai Panchang
Mumbai (Bombay), India's financial capital, has a deeply religious population where Panchang guides business launches, shop openings, and festive celebrations across its 20 million residents. Mumbai's longitude (72.88°E) places it 18 minutes behind Delhi in solar time — sunrise occurs about 18–20 minutes later, shifting every Rahu Kaal, Choghadiya, and Hora window accordingly. Ganesh Chaturthi, Navratri, and Diwali muhurtas are widely observed in Mumbai using the Marathi Panchang tradition. The city's large Gujarati and Marwari communities also follow Gujarati Panchang timings for all auspicious activities.
Why Location Matters for Panchang
All Panchang time divisions — Rahu Kaal, Choghadiya, Hora, and Abhijit Muhurta — are calculated from the local sunrise at your exact coordinates. Mumbai is located at 19.08°N latitude and 72.88°E longitude. This means every time-sensitive Panchang element is specifically calibrated for Mumbai residents.
Rahu Kaal (the inauspicious period associated with Rahu) lasts approximately 90 minutes each day, with its timing varying by day of the week. For Mumbai, these timings are calculated from the exact local sunrise, which differs from Delhi by approximately 17 minutes due to longitude difference.
