Tamil panchangam for New Jersey
Using an Indian panchangam table directly on the US East Coast can lead to incorrect sunrise tithi and nakshatra attributions. AstroYogam computes the five panchangam limbs at New Jersey's exact coordinates (40.06° N, -74.41° W) anchored to local sunrise.

Overview: New Jersey Tamil Panchangam
- Calculation Method: Thirukanitha (Drik) panchangam using Lahiri (Chitrapaksha) Ayanamsa.
- Sunrise Anchoring: All limbs are evaluated at New Jersey's local sunrise (40.06° N, -74.41° W).
- Timezone: America/New_York (EST/EDT) with automatic daylight saving time (DST) adjustments.
- Vratams & Festivals: Amavasya, Pournami, Pradosham, and Sashti observances depend on the active tithi at local sunrise in New Jersey.
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.
Sample: 2026-06-15 (engine) - not live today
| Place | Sunrise | Tithi at sunrise | Nakshatra |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chennai | 15 Jun 2026, 05:43 | Amavasya | Mrigashira |
| New Jersey | 15 Jun 2026, 14:56 | Pratipada | Mrigashira |
On this sample day, Chennai sunrise tithi is Amavasya while New Jersey sunrise tithi is Pratipada - same civil date label intent, different limb at local sunrise.
How AstroYogam handles it
- · IANA timezones and historical rules (not a fixed IST offset)
- · Local sunrise - disc-center with refraction
- · Lahiri sidereal positions; geocentric Moon
- · DST via the timezone database - no manual hour hacks

Why Local Panchangam Matters in New Jersey
With a 9.5 to 10.5 hour difference between IST and Eastern Time, the sky moment of sunrise in New Jersey is vastly different from Chennai. This often causes tithi and nakshatra transitions to fall on different civil dates.
For the vibrant Tamil community across Edison, Bridgewater, and New Jersey, relying on local coordinate calculations ensures authentic observance of vratams, festivals, and muhurthams.

Should I use India times abroad?
For sunrise-anchored limbs - no. Use local sunrise for your place; the same sky moment can land on different civil dates.
Does DST affect nalla neram?
Wall-clock labels move with the zone; sky events are continuous. AstroYogam uses IANA timezone rules - not a fixed IST offset.
Which panchangam do temples in New Jersey follow?
It varies by temple - ask the local priest. We compute Thirukanitha for the coordinates you set.
