The Panchang changes from city to city because all time-based calculations depend on the local sunrise and sunset. Sunrise in a western city like Mumbai occurs later than in an eastern city like Kolkata — this shifts the timing of Rahu Kaal, Yamaghanda, Gulika Kaal, Brahma Muhurat, Abhijit Muhurat, Choghadiya, and Hora. Even tithi and nakshatra transition times can fall on different sides of midnight, making a tithi "today" in one city but "tomorrow" in another. Always use a Panchang calculated for your specific location.

Abhijit Muhurat is a universally auspicious period of approximately 48 minutes occurring around midday.
