Sunrise and sunset today in Chandigarh
The Sun rises in Chandigarh at 5:56 AM today and sets at 6:52 PM, giving 12 hours 56 minutes of daylight.
Both times are computed from this city's own latitude and longitude for today's date, not read from a national table. India keeps one clock across roughly 30 degrees of longitude, so real sunrise varies across the country by well over an hour.
Today's sun and moon times for Chandigarh
All times are local to Chandigarh, computed for Asia/Kolkata (UTC+05:30).
| Event | Time | What it is |
|---|---|---|
| Sunrise | 5:56 AM | The Sun's upper edge reaching the horizon, for this city's coordinates. |
| Sunset | 6:52 PM | The Sun's upper edge leaving the horizon. |
| Day length | 12h 56m 26s | Sunrise to sunset. Called dinamana in a panchang. |
| Night length | 11h 04m 09s | Sunset to the next sunrise. Called ratrimana. |
| Moonrise | 6:27 PM | Computed for the same coordinates, from the same ephemeris. |
| Moonset | 4:52 AM | As above. The Moon shifts by roughly 50 minutes a day. |

What this sunrise decides
Most of a panchang is measured from sunrise rather than from midnight, so the figure above sets the boundaries of the day's other timings in Chandigarh: Choghadiya, Hora and Rahu Kaal are all divisions of the interval between it and sunset.
For tithi, nakshatra, yoga, karana and the full set of muhurta windows, open the full Panchang for Chandigarh.
Other cities
Sunrise and sunset are properties of a place, so each city is calculated separately. A time computed for Delhi is wrong in Chennai by a meaningful margin.

How this is calculated
Positions come from the Swiss Ephemeris, using this city's coordinates and today's date. Sunrise and sunset are the moments the Sun's upper edge crosses the horizon, which is the convention a printed panchang uses and the reason these times differ by a minute or two from a "centre of the disc" figure.
Moonrise and moonset come from the same calculation for the Moon. The Moon rises roughly 50 minutes later each day, so on some days it does not rise at all within the calendar day and that row is omitted rather than left blank.
Common questions
What time is sunrise in Chandigarh today?
The Sun rises in Chandigarh at 5:56 AM today, calculated for the city's own latitude and longitude rather than a national average.
What time is sunset in Chandigarh today?
Sunset in Chandigarh is at 6:52 PM today.
How long is the day in Chandigarh today?
12 hours 56 minutes of daylight and 11 hours 4 minutes of darkness. A panchang calls those two figures dinamana and ratrimana.
Why is sunrise in Chandigarh different from Delhi?
India keeps one clock across roughly 30 degrees of longitude, so actual sunrise differs across the country by well over an hour. Every figure here is computed for Chandigarh's coordinates, which is also why the Choghadiya, Hora and Rahu Kaal windows measured from it differ from Delhi's.
