Madurai Panchang
Madurai, Tamil Nadu · 25 August 2026
Aaj ka Panchang for Madurai: today's Tithi, Nakshatra, Yoga, Karana and Vara along with Rahu Kaal, Abhijit Muhurat, Choghadiya, and accurate sunrise/sunset for Madurai, Tamil Nadu. Use it to plan puja, fasting (vrat), travel, marriage muhurat, and any important daily activity.
Madurai is the temple city of the Tamil calendar, Meenakshi Amman’s Chithirai festival re-enacts the celestial wedding each April, and the temple’s daily pooja schedule is the city’s heartbeat. Rahu Kalam here is observed to the minute.
Local timing note: Madurai lies 4.4° west of the IST meridian (82.5°E), so the Sun here runs about 18 minutes behind clock time — which is why Madurai's sunrise, Rahu Kaal and Choghadiya windows differ from other cities on the same IST clock.
