- Against New Delhi. Sunrise in Amritsar today is at 6:42 AM, 13 minutes later than New Delhi (6:29 AM); sunset is at 5:46 PM, 5 minutes later than New Delhi (5:41 PM). Longitude: Amritsar lies 2.3° west of Delhi, so local noon comes 9 minutes later (12:14 PM against 12:05 PM). Latitude: Amritsar lies 3.0° north of Delhi, and from the September equinox to the March one, days run longer the further south you go; today's daylight here is 7 minutes shorter (11 hours 4 minutes against 11 hours 11 minutes), which pushes sunrise later and pulls sunset earlier by about 4 minutes each.
- Tonight. 12 hours 57 minutes from sunset to tomorrow's sunrise — the ratrimana, whose eighths are the night Choghadiyas and whose twelfths are the night Horas.
- Local noon. Midway between sunrise and sunset, Amritsar's noon falls at 12:14 PM today, 14 minutes after 12:00 on the clock. Amritsar lies 7.6° west of the 82.5° E meridian its clock keeps, which makes noon 31 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. Amritsar has 11 hours 4 minutes of daylight today, against 11 hours 17 minutes a week ago and 10 hours 52 minutes a week from now: the days here are getting shorter by about 12 minutes a week, and will until the shortest day, around 21 December. In 2026 the longest day is 14 hours 13 minutes (around 21 June) and the shortest 10 hours 6 minutes (around 21 December), a swing of 4 hours 8 minutes, more than New Delhi's 3 hours 39 minutes.
- The year's extremes. The earliest sunrise of 2026 is 5:25 AM (around 11 June) and the latest 7:31 AM (around 9 January); the earliest sunset is 5:27 PM (around 3 December) and the latest 7:40 PM (around 30 June). 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. Amritsar lies 31.6° north, 8.2° beyond the Tropic of Cancer, so the Sun never stands directly overhead: at its highest, around 21 June, it is 82° above the horizon at noon.
- The calendar here. Punjab counts its lunar months from full moon to full moon (purnimanta), so today is Kartika Krishna Pratipada. A panchang from a state that counts the other way prints the same day as Ashwin Krishna Pratipada: the festival date is the same, only the month's name moves.
- Nearest cities. Jalandhar (75 km south-east) — sunrise 3 minutes earlier; Jammu (122 km north) — sunrise 2 minutes later.
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 Amritsar: 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 Amritsar.
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.

Why is sunrise in Amritsar different from Delhi?

Delhi and every major city on one page: Sunrise and sunset today.
Sunrise and sunset are properties of a place, so each city is calculated separately. A time computed for Delhi is wrong in Chennai by a meaningful margin.
