About the panchang in Edinburgh
Edinburgh's clocks change twice a year: UTC+01:00 from Mar 29 until Oct 25 2026, and UTC+00:00 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 Edinburgh moves from 4:28 AM (Jun 15) to 8:46 AM (Jan 1), and daylight lasts from 6 h 52 min to 17 h 31 min. Rahu Kalam, Yamaganda and Gulika are each one-eighth of the daytime, so in Edinburgh they last about 52 minutes in the shortest days and 131 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, 6 of the 24 Ekadashis in Edinburgh 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: Edinburgh'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.
