Frequently asked questions
Why is Rahu Kaal at a different time each day in Kathmandu?
Rahu Kaal is one-eighth of the time between local sunrise and sunset, so it moves with the seasons. In Kathmandu it lasts about 1h 44m around the June solstice and 1h 18m around the December solstice.
Which time zone are these Kathmandu timings in?
All times are local Kathmandu time (Asia/Kathmandu), which is 0.25 hours ahead of India (IST). Kathmandu does not use daylight saving time.
Are Hindu festival dates in Kathmandu the same as in India?
Not always. Over the next 12 months, 1 of the 35 major festivals listed here fall on a different date in Kathmandu than in New Delhi (Bhai Dooj). Festival dates depend on the tithi at local sunrise, midday or midnight, so the local date is the correct one to observe in Kathmandu.
