Singapore time compared with India
Today Delhi sees sunrise at 6:15 AM IST and Singapore at 6:50 AM local time. Delhi's Rahu kaal is 9:12 AM to 10:41 AM IST, while Singapore's is 9:52 AM to 11:23 AM local time. The two are not a simple time zone shift of each other, because each is one eighth of that city's own day.
- Singapore uses Singapore Standard Time (SGT); today that is UTC+8 against India's UTC+5:30.
- Latitude 1.35 and longitude 103.82 decide local sunrise and sunset.
- The tithi and nakshatra change at the same instant worldwide, so they can change on a different local date.
How sunrise and Rahu kaal change through the year in Singapore
These cities sit close to the equator or in the southern hemisphere and do not use daylight saving. In Singapore and Kuala Lumpur sunrise and sunset barely move all year, so choghadiya slots look almost the same in every month.
Durban and Nairobi follow their own steady zones too, which keeps the local panchang predictable for families planning puja and functions.
| Day | Date | Sunrise | Sunset | Day length | Each choghadiya / Rahu kaal | Offset |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| March equinox | 2026-03-20 | 7:09 AM | 7:15 PM | 12h 6m | 91 min | UTC+8 |
| June solstice | 2026-06-21 | 7:00 AM | 7:12 PM | 12h 12m | 92 min | UTC+8 |
| September equinox | 2026-09-22 | 6:54 AM | 7:00 PM | 12h 7m | 91 min | UTC+8 |
| December solstice | 2026-12-21 | 7:01 AM | 7:04 PM | 12h 3m | 90 min | UTC+8 |
In Singapore, one daytime choghadiya or Rahu kaal ranges from 90 min to 92 min across these four dates.

What the panchang tells you
The five limbs
Panchang means five limbs: vaar (weekday), tithi (lunar day), nakshatra (the Moon's star), yoga (a Sun Moon combination) and karana (half a tithi). Families read them at local sunrise to plan puja, fasts and functions.
Choghadiya
The day and the night are each split into eight equal slots named Amrit, Shubh, Labh, Char, Udveg, Kaal and Rog. Amrit, Shubh and Labh are favoured, Char suits travel, and the other three are avoided for new beginnings. Gujarati and Rajasthani families use choghadiya the most, for shop openings, travel and buying gold.
Rahu kaal
One eighth of the daytime, at a fixed position for each weekday, is Rahu kaal. South Indian families especially avoid starting anything new in it. Because it is a fraction of the local day, it changes length with the season, which is why Singapore needs its own timing.
- Pick your date above.
- Check Rahu kaal and avoid it for a new start.
- Choose a good choghadiya or Abhijit for the important task.
- For weddings and griha pravesh, confirm with your purohit.

From the real positions of the Sun and Moon (Lahiri ayanamsha) and Singapore's coordinates, 1.35, 103.82. Nothing is copied from an Indian city.
