Most Vedic apps show the same Rahu Kaal for all of India — calculated from a generic IST formula. But Rahu Kaal is 1/8th of the actual daytime from today's sunrise at your location. Visakhapatnam (83.2°E) sunrise is 3 min earlier than IST meridian — among the most accurate for standard IST. Still 43 min earlier than Mumbai and 16 min later than Kolkata. CosmosPandit uses precision astronomy (Jean Meeus, Astronomical Algorithms) to calculate the exact sunrise at Visakhapatnam's coordinates (17.686800°N, 83.218500°E), giving you the correct Rahu Kaal every day.
Visakhapatnam (Vizag) is Andhra Pradesh's largest city and home to the ancient Simhachalam Narasimha Swamy temple — one of the 108 Divya Desams — perched 800 feet above sea level. The Bay of Bengal coastline gives Vizag dramatic unobstructed sunrises. At 83.2°E — very close to the IST standard meridian (82.5°E) — Visakhapatnam has one of the most 'IST-accurate' sunrise times among Indian cities, making it a good reference point.
ભારત 30° રેખાંશ જેટલા વિસ્તારમાં એક જ સમય ઝોન (IST, UTC+5:30) વાપરે છે. પણ સૂર્યોદય ઘડિયાળ નહીં, સૂર્ય ને અનુસરે છે — દરેક 1° = 4 મિનિટ ફર્ક. આ રીતે કોલકાતા ના સૂર્યોદય મુંબઈ કરતા 80 મિનિટ વહેલો થાય છે.
આ રાહુ કાળ પેઝ તો બસ શરૂઆત છે. CosmosPandit App દરેક ભારતીય ને તેમની ભાષા અને શહેર ના ચોક્કસ સમય સાથે સંપૂર્ણ ટૂલ્સ આપે છે:
No. Vijayawada (80.65°E) is 2.57 degrees west of Visakhapatnam (83.22°E) — sunrise is about 10 minutes later in Vijayawada. Use the CosmosPandit app for your exact city.
Yes. CosmosPandit supports Telugu (తెలుగు) — all timings, Rashifal, and Panchang in Telugu.
Because Visakhapatnam (83.2°E) is only 0.7 degrees east of the IST standard meridian (82.5°E). The entire IST timezone was designed around 82.5°E as the reference longitude for India — Visakhapatnam happens to be closest to this line among our network cities.
