Ahmedabad is Gujarat's largest city and a centre of Swaminarayan faith, home to the grand BAPS Akshardham temple and the ornate Hutheesing Jain Temple. Gujarati diamond merchants and traders follow Vedic timing with great seriousness — even the Bombay Stock Exchange holds a special Muhurat trading session on Diwali. Ahmedabad at 72.6°E has one of the latest sunrises among India's major cities, making generic IST Rahu Kaal tables most misleading here.
Ahmedabad (72.6°E) is India's westernmost major city — sunrise is 40 min later than IST meridian and 63 min later than Kolkata. Generic IST Rahu Kaal tables are most inaccurate here.
