Correction, November 3, 2026: The earlier version contained unverified November 2 timings, inconsistent arithmetic and conflicting English/Hindi tables. Those tables have been removed. This page explains how to check a Mumbai calendar entry; it does not supply today's timings.

Start with the selected city and date

Open the Mumbai Panchang tool and check its displayed date and location before using an entry. Mumbai uses the Asia/Kolkata timezone. A saved screenshot or this article's publication date is not evidence that the displayed values apply today. If an event takes place in Pune, Nagpur or another city, select that location rather than treating Mumbai as a statewide reference.

Record the sunrise, sunset and the end time of the relevant tithi or nakshatra. Check whether an entry continues into the next civil date. A calendar label at sunrise and the instant when that label changes answer different questions; do not assume every element lasts until midnight.

Audit the arithmetic before copying a table

The old English article supplied sunrise 06:23 and sunset 18:04, then gave a Rahu Kalam interval that did not follow from those inputs. We have not validated those sunrise and sunset values as Mumbai observations or forecasts. They can nevertheless demonstrate how to catch an arithmetic inconsistency.

  1. The difference between the two supplied clock times is 701 minutes.
  2. Dividing 701 by eight gives 87.625 minutes per daylight segment.
  3. If a convention assigns a window to the second segment, its start would be 07:50:37.5 and its end 09:18:15.
  4. A table showing 07:52–09:21 cannot be explained simply by rounding those results to the nearest minute.

This is an audit of the earlier article's arithmetic, not a corrected forecast for November 2. Actual timing requires verified inputs for the selected date, city and calculation convention. When comparing sources, retain the inputs and rounding method so the result can be reproduced.

Coordinate a Mumbai event with someone abroad

Distinguish the time of one shared event from a locally calculated observance. For example, a video call at 18:00 in Mumbai on November 2, 2026 corresponds to 07:30 in Toronto on the same date. Toronto is on UTC−5 on that date; India is on UTC+5:30. The offset is date dependent, so do not use a permanent “ten-and-a-half-hour” rule for the entire year. The IANA timezone database maintains timezone and daylight-saving rules.

That conversion tells you when to join the Mumbai call. It does not calculate Toronto's sunrise or its local daylight segments. For a ceremony taking place in Toronto, use the relevant local calendar and ask its organiser which observance rules apply.

Compare methods without promising outcomes

Sources may differ in their astronomical model, sunrise definition, sidereal convention, rounding or observance rules. An ayanamsa is relevant to sidereal positions; it does not mean every calendar difference can be fixed by changing that setting. Use the comparison tool to inspect available location information, and read the methodology and limitations.

A Panchang is a cultural calendar aid. It cannot establish that a purchase, journey, medical procedure or ceremony will have a particular outcome. Keep medical and financial decisions with the appropriate professionals. To report a discrepancy, send the selected date, city, source links and conflicting values through Contact.
