Tamil panchangam for Madurai
Madurai's sunrise differs from Chennai's by several minutes on longitude alone. When a tithi or nakshatra boundary falls close to sunrise, that small gap can flip which day it's attributed to. AstroYogam doesn't apply one Tamil Nadu-wide table - it computes limbs at Madurai's own coordinates.
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 Madurai - 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

Is a Chennai panchangam fine for Madurai?
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 Madurai follow?
It varies by temple - ask the local priest. We compute Thirukanitha for the coordinates you set.
