Tamil panchangam for Madurai
Using a Chennai table directly in Madurai can cause subtle errors when tithi or nakshatra boundaries fall near sunrise. AstroYogam computes the five panchangam limbs at Madurai's exact coordinates (9.93° N, 78.12° E) anchored to local sunrise.

- Vratams & Festivals: Amavasya, Pournami, Pradosham, and Sashti observances depend on the active tithi at local sunrise in Madurai.
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

- · Local sunrise - disc-center with refraction
- · Lahiri sidereal positions; geocentric Moon
- · Asia/Kolkata IANA rules (historical); sunrise still differs town to town

Why Local Panchangam Matters in Madurai
Even within Tamil Nadu, Chennai and Madurai have different longitude and latitude coordinates, shifting the moment of sunrise by several minutes.
When a tithi or nakshatra transition occurs within minutes of sunrise, that subtle shift determines which civil-day label applies. Local calculation is essential for families in Madurai and southern Tamil Nadu.

Open AstroYogamFAQ
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.
