About the panchang in Christchurch
Christchurch's clocks change twice a year: UTC+12:00 from Apr 5 until Sep 27 2026, and UTC+13:00 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 Christchurch moves from 5:43 AM (Dec 7) to 8:05 AM (Jun 23), and daylight lasts from 8 h 53 min to 15 h 22 min. Rahu Kalam, Yamaganda and Gulika are each one-eighth of the daytime, so in Christchurch they last about 67 minutes in the shortest days and 115 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 Christchurch 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: Christchurch'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.
