How we calculate

We use Lucknow's coordinates (26.85° N, 80.95° E) and the astronomy engine with standard refraction, in IST.

Sunrise in Lucknow explained

Sunrise is the moment the upper edge of the Sun appears on a flat horizon. Because the air bends sunlight, we can see the Sun a couple of minutes before it is geometrically above the horizon, so every good sunrise table includes this refraction. The times on this page are worked out for the centre of Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh, at 26.85 degrees north and 80.95 degrees east.

All of India uses a single time zone, India Standard Time, five and a half hours ahead of UTC. This means cities in the east see the Sun much earlier than cities in the west on the same clock. Lucknow's position decides how early or late its sunrise is compared with Delhi, Mumbai or Kolkata.

Through the year, the length of the day in Lucknow changes from about 10 h 28 min in December to about 13 h 49 min in June. The change comes from the 23.4 degree tilt of Earth's axis. Near the solstices sunrise moves slowly from day to day; near the equinoxes in March and September it changes fastest.

In the panchang, the day begins at sunrise, not at midnight. The tithi, nakshatra, yoga and karana written for a day are the ones running at sunrise. Rahu Kaal, Choghadiya and Abhijit Muhurat are all built from the sunrise and sunset times of the city, which is why a local table matters for anyone who follows these timings.

Many families in Lucknow use sunrise for daily practice: Surya arghya, surya namaskar, a morning walk or simply a quiet cup of tea on the balcony. Photographers watch for the golden hour after sunrise and before sunset. This page updates every day, so you can bookmark it and check it each morning.
