About the panchang in Reading
Reading's clocks change twice a year: UTC+01:00 from Mar 30 until Oct 26 2025, and UTC+00:00 the rest of the year. Every time on this page is local clock time with the change already applied; on the switch-over days, all timings jump by an hour.
Sunrise in Reading moves from 4:48 AM (Jun 13) to 8:11 AM (Jan 1), and daylight lasts from 7 h 46 min to 16 h 33 min. Rahu Kalam, Yamaganda and Gulika are each one-eighth of the daytime, so in Reading they last about 58 minutes in the shortest days and 124 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 2025, 4 of the 25 Ekadashis in Reading 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: Reading'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.
