Visakhapatnam Daily Observance Timings

Because Visakhapatnam's sunrise differs from other Indian cities by a few minutes, all these windows shift accordingly.

Why Visakhapatnam Panchangam Differs from Other Cities
All Telugu panchangam computations follow the same astronomical principles (Lahiri Ayanamsa, Swiss Ephemeris). However, daily-observance timings (Rahu Kalam, Yamagandam, Choghadiya, Abhijit Muhurat) depend on local sunrise — which varies by longitude.
Visakhapatnam at longitude 83.218°E has sunrise approximately 19 minutes earlier than Hyderabad (78.486°E). The tithi, nakshatra, yoga, and karana for any given moment are identical across all of India (these are computed from the Sun-Moon astronomical relationship at any instant), but the Rahu Kalam and Choghadiya windows for Visakhapatnam shift accordingly to track local sunrise.
