About the panchang in Wellington
Wellington's clocks change twice a year: UTC+12:00 from Apr 5 until Sep 27 2026, and UTC+13:00 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 Wellington moves from 5:42 AM (Dec 7) to 7:49 AM (Jun 24), and daylight lasts from 9 h 8 min to 15 h 6 min. Rahu Kalam, Yamaganda and Gulika are each one-eighth of the daytime, so in Wellington they last about 69 minutes in the shortest days and 113 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, 5 of the 24 Ekadashis in Wellington 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: Wellington'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.
