Tirupati: sunrise questions
What time is sunrise in Tirupati today?
On Sunday, 18 Oct 2026, the sun rises in Tirupati at 6:03 AM and sets at 5:51 PM; the day lasts 11 h 48 min.
When does it get light and dark in Tirupati today?
Civil dawn is at 5:41 AM and civil dusk at 6:12 PM, when the sun's centre is 6° below the horizon.
When is the earliest and latest sunrise in Tirupati in October 2026?
The earliest sunrise is on 1 Oct at 6:01 AM, the latest on 30 Oct at 6:06 AM. The latest sunset is on 1 Oct at 6:02 PM.
Why do other sources show a sunrise a minute or two apart?
Some use the sun's centre, some leave out refraction, and many give another city's time (Delhi or Ujjain). The times here are for Tirupati's own latitude and longitude: the sun's upper edge, a true horizon and standard refraction. Hills or tall buildings can shift what you actually see by a few minutes.
For the tithi, nakshatra and rahu kaal from this sunrise, see today's panchang for Tirupati.
Sunrise in cities near Tirupati
Why Tirupati's times differ from other cities
Tirupati lies at 13.6°N, 79.4°E. Indian Standard Time is kept on the 82.5°E meridian; Tirupati is 3.1° west of it, so its mean sun runs about 12 minutes behind the clock. Today its solar noon, midway between sunrise and sunset, falls at 11:57 AM and the day lasts 11 h 48 m; every time counted from sunrise, rahu kaal, choghadiya and hora among them, moves with it.
Compared with New Delhi, sunrise in Tirupati today comes 20 minutes earlier and sunset 3 minutes later, so the day here is 23 minutes longer (11 h 48 m against 11 h 25 m). Tirupati is 15.0° south of New Delhi: the nearer the equator, the closer the day stays to 12 hours all year; the farther north, the wider the swing between summer and winter days.
What these times mean
Sunrise is the moment the upper edge of the sun clears the horizon, and sunset the moment it disappears; both include the bending of light by the air (standard refraction), which lifts the sun into view a couple of minutes before it is geometrically up. Day length is the time between the two. Solar noon lies midway between them: the sun is at its highest and shadows point due north or south.
Civil twilight is the half hour of usable light around them: civil dawn begins when the sun's centre is 6° below the horizon, civil dusk ends when it sinks to 6° below. In India it lasts about 20 to 30 minutes, longest near the solstices and in the north.
Why sunrise matters in the panchang
The Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not from midnight. The tithi, nakshatra and weekday of a day are the ones in force at sunrise, which is why a vrat can fall on different dates in two cities. Rahu kaal, choghadiya, hora and abhijit muhurat are all slices of this city's own daylight, and the morning prayers of sandhya are timed by it.
So when a panchang gives another city's sunrise, every time built on it moves too. The times on this page are computed for this city's own latitude and longitude, from the same engine as its panchang.
How the month changes
Sunrise and sunset do not move together. After the winter solstice the evenings lengthen first while the mornings still darken for a few weeks; near the summer solstice the earliest sunrise comes before the longest day. Both follow from the tilt of the earth and its uneven speed around the sun (the equation of time), and the month table shows it day by day.
