About Visakhapatnam Panchang
Visakhapatnam (Vizag), Andhra Pradesh's largest port city, has a strongly observant Telugu Hindu population where Panchang guides fishing community muhurtas, Simhachalam temple rituals, and major festivals. Located on India's eastern coast at 83.22°E, Vizag's sunrise occurs approximately 24 minutes before Delhi — making it one of the few major cities where Brahma Muhurta begins before 5 AM year-round. The Andhra Panchang tradition (Amanta months) is followed here, with Ugadi, Vinayaka Chaturthi, and Karthika Masam being the most Panchang-observed festivals. Vizag's distinct coastal geography also affects seasonal Nakshatra and tithi patterns compared to inland cities.

Visakhapatnam is located at 17.69°N latitude and 83.22°E longitude. This means every time-sensitive Panchang element is specifically calibrated for Visakhapatnam residents.
