About this month
January 2026 in Melbourne runs through Pausha and Magha masas. Sunrise moves from 6:03 AM on the 1st to 6:34 AM on the 31th, so Rahu Kalam, Abhijit and every other timing shift with it.
Dates follow the tithi at Melbourne's sunrise (or the kaal each festival requires), which is why some fall a day earlier than in India.
