About the panchang in Canberra
Canberra's clocks change twice a year: UTC+10:00 from Apr 5 until Oct 4 2026, and UTC+11:00 the rest of the year. Every time on this page is local clock time with the change already applied; on the switch-over days, all timings jump by an hour.
Sunrise in Canberra moves from 5:38 AM (Oct 3) to 7:19 AM (Apr 3), and daylight lasts from 9 h 43 min to 14 h 29 min. Rahu Kalam, Yamaganda and Gulika are each one-eighth of the daytime, so in Canberra they last about 73 minutes in the shortest days and 109 minutes in the longest: never a fixed 90 minutes, and never fixed clock times.
Dates can differ from India too. Tithis are counted from local sunrise, so in 2026, 2 of the 24 Ekadashis in Canberra fall on a different day than in India. That is why a panchang made for India can give the wrong fasting day here.
All calculations use Drik Ganita: Canberra's own sunrise and sunset (NOAA solar formulas) and the true positions of the Sun and Moon (Astronomy Engine, validated against NASA JPL), with Lahiri ayanamsa.
