About the panchang in Penang
Penang keeps UTC+08:00 all year, with no daylight saving, so timings change only with the seasons.
Sunrise in Penang moves from 7:04 AM (May 18) to 7:36 AM (Jan 26), and daylight lasts from 11 h 46 min to 12 h 24 min. Rahu Kalam, Yamaganda and Gulika are each one-eighth of the daytime, so in Penang 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, 1 of the 24 Ekadashis in Penang 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: Penang'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.
