About the panchang in Shanghai
Shanghai keeps UTC+08:00 all year, with no daylight saving, so timings change only with the seasons.
Sunrise in Shanghai moves from 4:50 AM (Jun 9) to 6:55 AM (Jan 6), and daylight lasts from 10 h 4 min to 14 h 8 min. Rahu Kalam, Yamaganda and Gulika are each one-eighth of the daytime, so in Shanghai they last about 76 minutes in the shortest days and 106 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, 2 of the 24 Ekadashis in Shanghai 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: Shanghai'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.
