AI Overview: Chennai Tamil Panchangam
- Calculation Method: Thirukanitha (Drik) panchangam using Lahiri (Chitrapaksha) Ayanamsa.
- Sunrise Anchoring: All limbs are evaluated at Chennai's local sunrise (13.08° N, 80.27° E).
- Coordinate Precision: We do not shift Chennai tables for other cities; every location receives independent calculations.
- Vratams & Festivals: Amavasya, Pournami, Pradosham, and Sashti observances depend on the active tithi at local sunrise in Chennai.
What changes with location
With a sunrise-anchored panchangam, the same sky moment can land on different civil dates. The sample below is engine-computed - not a live daily table.

How AstroYogam handles it
- · Coordinates for Chennai - not a shifted Tamil Nadu / Chennai table
- · Local sunrise - disc-center with refraction
- · Lahiri sidereal positions; geocentric Moon
- · Asia/Kolkata IANA rules (historical); sunrise still differs town to town

How Thirukanitha Panchangam Works in Chennai
As Chennai is situated on the east coast of Tamil Nadu (80.27° E), its sunrise occurs earlier than western and southern districts of the state.
For families across Chennai, Kanchipuram, Chengalpattu, and Thiruvallur, following precise sunrise-anchored limbs ensures accurate selection of muhurthams and vratam observances.

Open AstroYogamFAQ
Is a Chennai panchangam fine for Chennai?
Often close day to day, but not always safe for sunrise-anchored limbs. Longitude shifts sunrise by a few minutes; when a boundary falls near sunrise, the tithi or nakshatra label can flip. AstroYogam does not shift a Chennai table - it computes at this city's own coordinates.
Why do a few minutes of sunrise difference matter?
When a tithi or nakshatra boundary falls just before or after sunrise, those few minutes decide which civil-day label you see. That is why one state-wide table is not enough for every town.
Which panchangam do temples in Chennai follow?
It varies by temple - ask the local priest. We compute Thirukanitha for the coordinates you set.
