Frequently asked questions

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

Rahu Kaal is one-eighth of the time between local sunrise and sunset, so it moves with the seasons. In Madurai it lasts about 1h 35m around the June solstice and 1h 27m around the December solstice.

Which time zone are these Madurai timings in?

All times are local Madurai time (Asia/Kolkata), which is the same as India (IST). Madurai does not use daylight saving time.

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

Over the next 12 months, all 35 major festivals listed here fall on the same date in Madurai as in New Delhi. Because dates are set by the tithi at local sunrise, midday or midnight, they can occasionally differ, so always check the local date.
