Daylight in eight parts
From sunrise to sunset is 12h 35m, and the tradition divides it into eight equal parts of 1h 34m. Three of them are the ones to leave alone — which three depends on the weekday.

02 · Eight parts of the day
Choghadiya
Daylight is divided into eight and night into eight, separately. The two are rarely the same length. So a day window and a night window on the same date usually differ — here 1h 34m against 1h 26m.

The national era
Why is the panchang different for each city?
Tithi, nakshatra and yoga depend only on the instant, so their end times are the same worldwide. Everything anchored to sunrise is not. The Vedic day runs sunrise to sunrise, and sunrise depends on latitude and longitude. Two cities can sit on different tithis at the same clock time, and their Rahu Kaal will differ by more than an hour. A panchang without a place is not really a panchang.
Not reprinted from an almanac
Every figure on this page was computed for this date and these coordinates from an ephemeris, then checked against JPL Horizons. A printed panchang rounds to the nearest minute for a whole region. This one resolves to the second for one point. So small disagreements with a paper almanac are expected, and ours is the one you can check.
