Frequently asked questions

Why is Rahu Kaal at a different time each day in Durban?

Rahu Kaal is one-eighth of the time between local sunrise and sunset, so it moves with the seasons. In Durban it lasts about 1h 46m around the December solstice and 1h 17m around the June solstice.

Which time zone are these Durban timings in?

All times are local Durban time (Africa/Johannesburg), which is 3.5 hours behind India (IST). Durban does not use daylight saving time.

Are Hindu festival dates in Durban the same as in India?

Not always. Over the next 12 months, 6 of the 35 major festivals listed here fall on a different date in Durban than in New Delhi. Festival dates depend on the tithi at local sunrise, midday or midnight, so the local date is the correct one to observe in Durban.
