Panchang for Houston
Today is Sunday, . Tithi Krishna Amavasya till 01:02 (+1 day); Nakshatra Svati. Sunrise 06:40, sunset 17:29 (CST).
The Hindu civil day (vara) begins at local sunrise, not at midnight — a tithi, window or observance shown for "today" is dated by the sunrise that has just passed, which is why panchang dates can differ from a midnight-based calendar.
All values are computed for Houston, United States (29.76°N, 95.37°W, CST), anchored to this city’s own sunrise — not re-used from Delhi.

Methodology and reference
All timings on this page are computed astronomically for Houston, United States — solar and lunar positions, the Lahiri (Chitrapaksha) ayanamsa and sunrise-anchored window divisions — and regression-checked against the Government of India publication Rashtriya Panchang (Positional Astronomy Centre, India Meteorological Department, Kolkata). Data verified against the Positional Astronomy Centre, IMD (Government of India) publications on every site update; the computation method is described on the about page.

Frequently asked questions
- Why do panchang times in Houston differ from the Delhi reference?
- This page is computed for Houston’s own coordinates (29.76°N, 95.37°W) in the America/Chicago time zone, not re-used from Delhi. Because every window is anchored to local sunrise, a different longitude shifts the clock times — and cities far east or west of Delhi can even observe a different tithi for the day.
- How does daylight saving time affect panchang in Houston?
- The page always uses the city’s current CST offset, so the clock times above already reflect daylight saving time. When the clocks change in spring and autumn, the printed times jump by an hour while the underlying sun-anchored windows stay the same.
