Chandrodaya and astronomical moonrise

Chandrodaya (चन्द्रोदय) means moonrise. The time on this page is the astronomical moonrise for the city reference. Festival and vrat timings, such as those for Karva Chauth or Sankashti Chaturthi, follow panchang rules and local custom that this page does not calculate. Use your family's or temple's panchang for religious observance; use this page to know when and where the Moon actually clears the horizon.

The Moon from Bengaluru: what is local

A steep rise near the tropics

At 12.97° N the Moon climbs out of the horizon at a steep angle. Close to the equator it clears low buildings and trees sooner after moonrise than it does at high latitudes, where it creeps up at a shallow angle. The direction shown at moonrise is the compass point to watch.
