About the panchang in Halifax
Halifax's clocks change twice a year: ADT (UTC−03:00) from Mar 8 until Nov 1 2026, and AST (UTC−04:00) 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 Halifax moves from 5:30 AM (Jun 9) to 7:53 AM (Jan 1), and daylight lasts from 8 h 45 min to 15 h 31 min. Rahu Kalam, Yamaganda and Gulika are each one-eighth of the daytime, so in Halifax they last about 66 minutes in the shortest days and 116 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, 11 of the 24 Ekadashis in Halifax 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: Halifax'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.
