Sunrise and sunset today in Madurai

Most of a panchang is measured from sunrise rather than from midnight, so the figure above sets the boundaries of the day's other timings in Madurai: Choghadiya, Hora and Rahu Kaal are all divisions of the interval between it and sunset.

For tithi, nakshatra, yoga, karana and the full set of muhurta windows, open the full Panchang for Madurai.

Both times are computed from this city's own latitude and longitude for today's date, not read from a national table. India keeps one clock across roughly 30 degrees of longitude, so real sunrise varies across the country by well over an hour.

Positions come from the Swiss Ephemeris, using this city's coordinates and today's date. Sunrise and sunset are the moments the Sun's upper edge crosses the horizon, which is the convention a printed panchang uses and the reason these times differ by a minute or two from a "centre of the disc" figure.

Moonrise and moonset come from the same calculation for the Moon. They are the first after this sunrise and before the next — the panchang day — so a moonrise after midnight carries the next date. The Moon rises roughly 50 minutes later each day, so on some days it does not rise at all in that span and that row is omitted rather than left blank.
