- Against New Delhi. Sunrise in Puducherry today is at 6:02 AM, 27 minutes earlier than New Delhi (6:29 AM); sunset is at 5:47 PM, 6 minutes later than New Delhi (5:41 PM). Longitude: Puducherry lies 2.6° east of Delhi, so local noon comes 10 minutes sooner (11:55 AM against 12:05 PM). Latitude: Puducherry lies 16.7° 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 34 minutes longer (11 hours 45 minutes against 11 hours 11 minutes), which pulls sunrise earlier and pushes sunset later by about 17 minutes each.
- Tonight. 12 hours 15 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, Puducherry's noon falls at 11:55 AM today, 5 minutes before 12:00 on the clock. Puducherry lies 2.7° west of the 82.5° E meridian its clock keeps, which makes noon 11 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. Puducherry has 11 hours 45 minutes of daylight today, against 11 hours 49 minutes a week ago and 11 hours 41 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 50 minutes (around 21 June) and the shortest 11 hours 26 minutes (around 21 December), a swing of 1 hour 24 minutes, less than New Delhi's 3 hours 39 minutes.
- The year's extremes. The earliest sunrise of 2026 is 5:45 AM (around 31 May) and the latest 6:36 AM (around 25 January); the earliest sunset is 5:43 PM (around 18 November) and the latest 6:40 PM (around 10 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. Puducherry lies 11.9° north of the equator, south of the Tropic of Cancer, so the noon Sun stands directly overhead twice a year: around 21 April and 21 August in 2026. On those two days an upright pole casts almost no shadow at local noon.
- The calendar here. Puducherry keeps a solar calendar: today is day 10 of Aippasi in the Tamil calendar. The lunar day is Krishna Pratipada, in Ashwin counted new moon to new moon and in Kartika counted full moon to full moon.
- Nearest cities. Chennai (136 km north) — sunrise 1 minute earlier; Tiruchirappalli (177 km south-west) — sunrise 3 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 Puducherry: 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 Puducherry.
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 Puducherry 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.
