Sankashti Chaturthi and Karwa Chauth moonrise in Hyderabad
The Sankashti fast is broken at moonrise, on the evening the Moon rises while Krishna Paksha Chaturthi is in force. Here that evening is worked out from Hyderabad’s own moonrise, so now and then it can fall on a different date from Delhi’s. Karwa Chauth is the Sankashti of Kartika and Sakat Chauth the Sankashti of Magha; a Sankashti on a Tuesday is Angarki.

Moonrise in Hyderabad compared with Delhi
Over the next 30 nights the Moon rises in Hyderabad between 35 minutes earlier and 25 minutes later than in Delhi, 8 minutes earlier on average. Hyderabad lies 1.2° east and 11.3° south of Delhi. Every degree of longitude further east brings moonrise about four minutes earlier, because Earth turns one degree in four minutes. Latitude shifts it as well, by an amount that changes through the month with the Moon’s path across the sky, which is why the gap is not the same every night.

How we calculate
Moonrise and moonset are calculated with Astronomy Engine for Hyderabad at 17.38°N 78.46°E and 515 m above sea level, the town’s height in the GeoNames gazetteer: the moment the top edge of the Moon touches a flat, clear horizon, with standard atmospheric refraction, the same definition the US Naval Observatory uses. Our Delhi moonrise times for Karwa Chauth 2026 and 2027 match the USNO’s to the minute. Tithis follow the Moon’s angle from the Sun in 12° steps; Sankashti and Karwa Chauth follow the rules explained on our How we calculate page. Hills, buildings and haze can delay the first sight of the Moon by a few minutes. For fasts and festivals, follow your family, your temple or the panchang your community uses.
