- Against New Delhi. Sunrise in Salem today is at 6:08 AM, 21 minutes earlier than New Delhi (6:29 AM); sunset is at 5:55 PM, 14 minutes later than New Delhi (5:41 PM). Longitude: Salem lies 0.9° east of Delhi, so local noon comes 4 minutes sooner (12:01 PM against 12:05 PM). Latitude: Salem lies 16.9° south of Delhi, and from the September equinox to the March one, days run longer the further south you go; today's daylight here is 34 minutes longer (11 hours 46 minutes against 11 hours 13 minutes), which pulls sunrise earlier and pushes sunset later by about 17 minutes each. A Delhi table would be up to 21 minutes out for the day Horas here today: too late in the morning, too early in the evening.
- How long each Hora lasts. A daytime Hora is a twelfth of the daylight, 59 minutes today, and a night Hora 1 hour 1 minute; only near the equinoxes is a Hora close to sixty minutes.
- Local noon. Midway between sunrise and sunset, Salem's noon falls at 12:01 PM today, 1 minute after 12:00 on the clock. Salem lies 4.4° west of the 82.5° E meridian its clock keeps, which makes noon 17 minutes late; the time of year (the equation of time) takes off 16 minutes today. Abhijit Muhurat is centred on this moment, not on twelve o'clock.
- Day length. Salem has 11 hours 46 minutes of daylight today, against 11 hours 50 minutes a week ago and 11 hours 42 minutes a week from now: the days here are getting shorter by about 4 minutes a week, and will until the shortest day, around 21 December. In 2026 the longest day is 12 hours 49 minutes (around 20 June) and the shortest 11 hours 27 minutes (around 21 December), a swing of 1 hour 22 minutes, less than New Delhi's 3 hours 39 minutes.
- The year's extremes. The earliest sunrise of 2026 is 5:52 AM (around 30 May) and the latest 6:42 AM (around 25 January); the earliest sunset is 5:50 PM (around 18 November) and the latest 6:46 PM (around 11 July). None falls on a solstice: the Sun's clock time drifts through the year, so the latest mornings come weeks after the shortest day.
- The overhead Sun. Salem lies 11.7° north of the equator, south of the Tropic of Cancer, so the noon Sun stands directly overhead twice a year: around 20 April and 22 August in 2026. On those two days an upright pole casts almost no shadow at local noon.
- The calendar here. Tamil Nadu keeps a solar calendar: today is day 9 of Aippasi in the Tamil calendar. The lunar day is Purnima, in the month of Ashwin.
- Nearest cities. Tiruchirappalli (115 km south-east) — sunrise 3 minutes earlier; Coimbatore (148 km south-west) — sunrise 4 minutes later.

Twenty-four Hora periods — twelve in daylight, twelve at night — each ruled by one of the seven classical planets in a fixed repeating order that starts from the lord of the weekday.
Everything above comes from the same computation behind today's full Panchang, using Swiss Ephemeris positions and your city's actual coordinates rather than a national average.
For what these periods mean and how they are traditionally used — including their limits — read the Hora guide. For choosing a time deliberately, see how muhurta is actually chosen.
The slow transits work on a different scale entirely — Saturn and Jupiter change sign in years rather than in hours. Shani Gochar, Guru Gochar, Rahu Ketu Gochar, Sade Sati, Mercury retrograde.
Timing guidance here is a framework for planning, not medical, legal or financial advice. Never delay medical care for a timing window.
Hora questions, answered
Which Hora is running right now in Salem?
The Sun Hora is running now in Salem, from 12:01 AM to 1:03 AM. It is traditionally read as neutral.
What time does Hora start in Salem today?
The table above starts at sunrise in Salem, which is 6:08 AM today. Every window on this page is measured from that sunrise, so the first period begins there rather than at midnight.
Why is Hora different in Salem than in Delhi?
Because the periods are divisions of the time between Salem's own sunrise and sunset, not a national table. Sunrise differs across India by well over an hour, so a time computed for Delhi is wrong in Salem by a meaningful margin.
How many Hora periods are there?
24 are listed above for Salem — the full set covering sunrise to the next sunrise.
Delhi and every major city on one page: Hora today.
These windows are derived from local sunrise, so they differ by city. A time computed for Delhi is wrong in Chennai by a meaningful margin.
