Why do Hindu festival dates differ between India and Canada?
Many Indians living in Toronto often notice that certain festival dates differ from those mentioned in Indian Panchangams. The main reason lies in time zone variations, sunrise and sunset differences, and the local tithi and nakshatra transitions. Each location experiences sunrise and sunset at different times, which affects the calculation of tithi, nakshatra, and planetary positions that decide auspicious moments.
If one follows timings from an Indian Panchangam while living in Canada, the actual period of Rahu Kalam, Yamakandam, and Nalla Neram may not align correctly with Toronto’s day length. This could result in performing important rituals or ceremonies during inauspicious hours. Hence, a locally calculated Panchangam is essential for precision.
🌞 Why Kannan Panchangam is Different
The Kannan Panchangam 2026 Calendar for Toronto is carefully prepared with accurate calculations based on Toronto’s sunrise, sunset, local time zone, and summer time changes. Every festival date, vratham time, muhurtham, and planetary position is specifically customized for Toronto’s location.
Because of the time difference, even the starting and ending dates of Hindu months can change, which may lead to a shift in festival or vratham dates.
This ensures that devotees in Canada observe every ritual, vratham, and celebration at the correct local time, preserving the sanctity and traditional accuracy of each observance.
🕉️ With the Blessings of Kanchi Sankarachariyar
The global calendar initiative was started under the blessings and guidance of Sri Kanchi Sankarachariyar Vijayendra Saraswathi Swamigal.
The Kanchi Sankarachariyar graciously entrusted Kannan Panchangam to prepare the official calendars of the Kanchi Kamakoti Peetam for major cities around the world, ensuring that Indians living abroad can follow accurate traditional timings based on their respective regions.
This Toronto edition forms part of that divine effort — the official 2026 calendar of the Kanchi Kamakoti Peetam, prepared on behalf of the Sankaramatam.
