About the panchang in Lagos
Lagos keeps UTC+01:00 all year, with no daylight saving, so timings change only with the seasons.
Sunrise in Lagos moves from 6:30 AM (May 23) to 7:05 AM (Jan 24), and daylight lasts from 11 h 42 min to 12 h 27 min. Rahu Kalam, Yamaganda and Gulika are each one-eighth of the daytime, so in Lagos they last about 88 minutes in the shortest days and 93 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 Lagos 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: Lagos'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.
