data brief

Sunrise and Moonrise local timings for Bengaluru, India

Astronomy portal Drik Panchang has updated its daily celestial timetable for Bengaluru, the capital of Karnataka, listing precise sunrise, sunset, moonrise, and moonset timings alongside current local and UTC references for the southern Indian metropolis.

The page, refreshed on a rolling daily basis, serves anglers, farmers, photographers, and outdoor enthusiasts who depend on accurate solar and lunar data to plan early-morning fishing sessions or coordinate activity around tidal and lunar cycles. Bengaluru sits at approximately 12.97° N latitude and 77.59° E longitude, and its modest elevation above sea level means daylight hours shift only gradually through the year, giving the city’s outdoor community a relatively stable window for planning.

For the international trade audience, the continued publication of granular local astronomical data reflects a broader digital infrastructure trend across India’s outdoor and leisure sectors, where freely accessible planning tools are increasingly used to support product marketing, trip logistics, and event scheduling. Tackle distributors and outfitters targeting the Karnataka market routinely reference sunrise and moon-phase data when timing product launches, demo days, and competitive fishing events.

Drik Panchang, operated by the same team behind the popular panchang-based Hindu calendar platform, has positioned itself as a go-to reference for location-specific astronomical calculations across more than 500 Indian and global cities. The Bengaluru page remains one of its most-visited entries, reflecting the city’s large population of anglers, amateur astronomers, and pilgrimage travellers who track lunar timings for ritual purposes.

International buyers sourcing tackle and outdoor gear from Indian manufacturers in and around Bengaluru can bookmark the resource to align shipping milestones, exhibition openings, and factory visit windows with local daylight availability, an increasingly common practice as cross-border sourcing trips to southern India continue to expand.
