About the panchang in Kampala
Kampala keeps UTC+03:00 all year, with no daylight saving, so timings change only with the seasons.
Sunrise in Kampala moves from 6:31 AM (Oct 23) to 7:01 AM (Jan 31), and daylight lasts from 12 h 4 min to 12 h 6 min. Rahu Kalam, Yamaganda and Gulika are each one-eighth of the daytime, so in Kampala they last about 90 minutes in the shortest days and 91 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 Kampala 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: Kampala'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.
