Why do Hindu festival dates differ between India and Japan?
Many Indians living in Tokyo often wonder why festival dates
here don’t always match those in India. The reason lies in time zones,
sunrise and sunset differences, and local tithi and nakchatra transitions.
Each country experiences sunrise and sunset at different times, which affects
the calculation of tithi, nakshatra, and planetary positions that determine
auspicious moments.
If one follows timings from an Indian Panchangam while
living in Japan, the actual period of Rahu Kalam, Yamakandam, and
Nalla Neram may not align correctly with Tokyo’s day length. This could
lead to performing rituals during inauspicious hours. Hence, a locally
calculated Panchangam is essential for accuracy.
Why Kannan Panchangam is Different?
The Kannan Panchangam 2026 Calendar for Tokyo is
created with precise calculations based on Tokyo’s sunrise, sunset, and
local time zone, summer time changes . Every festival date, vratham time,
muhurtham, and planetary position is customized for Tokyo’s location.
Because of time differences, even the starting and ending
dates of Hindu months can change, which may shift the festival dates.
This ensures that devotees in Japan perform rituals,
vrathams, and observances at the correct local time, preserving the
sanctity and intention behind each tradition.
With the Blessings of Kanchi Sankarachariayar.
The global calendar initiative was started under the
blessings and guidance of Sri Kanchi Sankarachariyar Vijayendra Saraswathi
Swamigal.
He graciously entrusted Kannan Panchangam to prepare the official
calendars of the Kanchi Kamakoti Peetam for major cities across the world,
so that Indians living abroad can observe traditional timings accurately
according to their region.
This Tokyo edition forms part of that divine effort — the official
2026 calendar of the Kanchi Kamakoti Peetam, prepared on behalf of the Sankaramatam.
