Frequently asked
Is Rahu Kalam in France the same as in India?
No. Rahu Kalam is one eighth of the day from sunrise to sunset, and Paris's sunrise differs from Chennai's. Every time on this page is local (CET/CEST).
Which time zone are these times in?
Local time (CET/CEST). When daylight saving starts or ends, the times move with your clock; the page always shows that day's local time.
Do festival dates in France differ from India?
Usually the same day, but because the thithi and star end at local times, a festival can fall a day earlier or later in some years. The list below is computed for Paris's own sunrise, with the Indian date shown where it differs; follow your local temple.
When is Pongal 2027 in France?
By Paris's own sunrise, Thai Pongal is on Thursday, 14 January 2027. In India (Chennai) it is Friday, 15 January 2027: the Sun enters Makaram on a different local day. Check your local temple's notice too.
When is Deepavali 2026 in France?
By Paris's own sunrise, Deepavali is on Saturday, 7 November 2026. In India (Chennai) it is Sunday, 8 November 2026. Deepavali is the day Naraka Chathurdasi holds at dawn, and at Paris's dawn that thithi arrives a day earlier than in India, so the oil bath, new clothes and pooja are that morning.
Why is Rahu Kalam in Paris so long on some days and so short on others?
Rahu Kalam is one eighth of the daylight, and Paris's daylight changes a great deal with the seasons. On Monday, 21 December 2026 the Sun rises at 8:41 am and sets at 4:56 pm, so Rahu Kalam lasts only 1 h 1 min; on Thursday, 17 June 2027 it rises at 5:46 am and sets at 9:56 pm, and Rahu Kalam runs 2 h 2 min. India's hour-and-a-half rule does not hold here; check each day on this page.
