About Patna Panchang
Patna, the ancient city of Pataliputra, sits on the sacred banks of the Ganga and is the capital of Bihar — one of India's most religiously observant states. Mahavir Mandir near Patna Junction is among the most visited Hanuman temples in India, and Patna Sahib Gurudwara and the ancient ruins of Kumhrar reflect millennia of spiritual significance. The Patna panchang is indispensable during Chhath Puja, Bihar's signature festival, where sunrise and sunset timings over the Ganga must be exact to the minute for arghya offerings.
Patna at 25.61°N, 85.14°E is east of the IST meridian, giving it earlier sunrises than most north Indian cities. During Chhath, even a two-minute error in sunset timing disrupts the ritual. Rahu Kaal and Choghadiya for Patna also shift with this earlier sunrise. This page uses Swiss Ephemeris with Patna's precise coordinates to deliver the accuracy that Bihari families expect.
