Why Local Panchangam Matters in Colombo
Located on the western coast of Sri Lanka at a southern latitude (6.93° N), Colombo experiences different sunrise timings from both Chennai and Jaffna.
When a tithi or nakshatra transition occurs near sunrise, local coordinate calculation ensures authentic observance across Colombo, Wellawatte, Kandy, and the Western Province.

Should I use India times abroad?
For sunrise-anchored limbs - no. Use local sunrise for your place; the same sky moment can land on different civil dates.
Does DST affect nalla neram?
Wall-clock labels move with the zone; sky events are continuous. AstroYogam uses IANA timezone rules - not a fixed IST offset.
Which panchangam do temples in Colombo follow?
It varies by temple - ask the local priest. We compute Thirukanitha for the coordinates you set.
