- Against New Delhi. Sunrise in Madurai today is at 6:07 AM, 22 minutes earlier than New Delhi (6:29 AM); sunset is at 5:56 PM, 15 minutes later than New Delhi (5:41 PM). Longitude: Madurai lies 0.9° east of Delhi, so local noon comes 4 minutes sooner (12:01 PM against 12:05 PM). Latitude: Madurai lies 18.7° 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 37 minutes longer (11 hours 50 minutes against 11 hours 13 minutes), which pulls sunrise earlier and pushes sunset later by about 18 minutes each. A Delhi table would be up to 22 minutes out for the day's Nalla Neram parts here today: too late in the morning, too early in the evening.
- How long each Gowri part lasts. A daytime Gowri part is an eighth of the daylight, 1 hour 29 minutes today, and a night one an eighth of the night, 1 hour 31 minutes.
- Local noon. Midway between sunrise and sunset, Madurai's noon falls at 12:01 PM today, 1 minute after 12:00 on the clock. Madurai lies 4.4° west of the 82.5° E meridian its clock keeps, which makes noon 18 minutes late; the time of year (the equation of time) takes off 17 minutes today. Abhijit Muhurat is centred on this moment, not on twelve o'clock.
- Day length. Madurai has 11 hours 50 minutes of daylight today, against 11 hours 53 minutes a week ago and 11 hours 46 minutes a week from now: the days here are getting shorter by about 3 minutes a week, and will until the shortest day, around 21 December. In 2026 the longest day is 12 hours 43 minutes (around 21 June) and the shortest 11 hours 33 minutes (around 21 December), a swing of 1 hour 9 minutes, less than New Delhi's 3 hours 39 minutes.
- The year's extremes. The earliest sunrise of 2026 is 5:55 AM (around 28 May) and the latest 6:40 AM (around 27 January); the earliest sunset is 5:52 PM (around 16 November) and the latest 6:43 PM (around 12 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. Madurai lies 9.9° north of the equator, south of the Tropic of Cancer, so the noon Sun stands directly overhead twice a year: around 15 April and 27 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 (116 km north-east) — sunrise 2 minutes earlier; Coimbatore (176 km north-west) — sunrise 5 minutes later.
Gowri Panchangam divides the daylight into eight parts and the night into eight more, each carrying one of eight names — Amirdha, Uthi, Laabam, Dhanam and Sugam are read as favourable, Rogam, Soram and Visham are not. The parts are measured from your local sunrise, so they differ in every city.
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 Nalla Neram 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.
Nalla Neram questions, answered
Which Nalla Neram is running right now in Madurai?
The Visham Nalla Neram is running now in Madurai, from 12:02 AM to 1:33 AM. It is traditionally read as inauspicious.
What time does Nalla Neram start in Madurai today?
The table above starts at sunrise in Madurai, which is 6:07 AM today. Every window on this page is measured from that sunrise, so the first period begins there rather than at midnight.
Why is Nalla Neram different in Madurai than in Delhi?
Because the periods are divisions of the time between Madurai'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 Madurai by a meaningful margin.
How many Nalla Neram periods are there?
16 are listed above for Madurai — the full set covering sunrise to the next sunrise.
Delhi and every major city on one page: Nalla Neram 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.
