About the panchang in Cape Town
Cape Town keeps UTC+02:00 all year, with no daylight saving, so timings change only with the seasons.
Sunrise in Cape Town moves from 5:29 AM (Nov 30) to 7:53 AM (Jun 22), and daylight lasts from 9 h 51 min to 14 h 22 min. Rahu Kalam, Yamaganda and Gulika are each one-eighth of the daytime, so in Cape Town they last about 74 minutes in the shortest days and 108 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, 4 of the 24 Ekadashis in Cape Town 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: Cape Town'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.
