Moonrise Today in Nagpur: Moonrise and Moonset Time (Chandrodaya)

Moonrise and moonset in Nagpur for the next 7 days

IST, from Wednesday 11 November 2026

The first two columns are the moonrise and moonset that fall on the calendar date, midnight to midnight. The third is the moonrise between that date's sunrise and the next sunrise, which is how a daily panchang and the Sankashti and Karva Chauth rules read the day, so a moonrise after midnight belongs to the date before. For any other date or town, use the moonrise calculator.

How the moonrise is worked out for Nagpur

The Moon's position comes from the NASA JPL DE440 tables this site uses for every date and time. The calculation follows the Moon through the day for Nagpur's latitude and longitude (21.15 degrees N, 79.08 degrees E), at sea level and as seen from the surface of the Earth, finds the moment its centre crosses the horizon and refines it to the second. The time is then cut, not rounded, to the minute.

Where almanacs differ

• Upper edge or centre. Astronomical almanacs time moonrise when the upper edge of the Moon appears, with an allowance for the bending of light in the air. That comes a few minutes earlier than the centre on the horizon used here and by Drik Panchang.
• Your own horizon. A hill, a building or haze can hide the Moon for several minutes after the printed time, above all near the new moon, when it is thin and faint.
• Calendar date or Hindu day. A moonrise between midnight and sunrise is printed under the new date in a calendar, and under the day before in a panchang. The table above gives both.
