About the panchang in Nairobi
Nairobi keeps UTC+03:00 all year, with no daylight saving, so timings change only with the seasons.
Sunrise in Nairobi moves from 6:12 AM (Oct 28) to 6:43 AM (Feb 6), and daylight lasts from 12 h 0 min to 12 h 9 min. Rahu Kalam, Yamaganda and Gulika are each one-eighth of the daytime, so in Nairobi 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, 3 of the 24 Ekadashis in Nairobi 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: Nairobi'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.
