Frequently Asked Questions

What time is Amrit Vela in Hyderabad today?

Amrit Vela (the ambrosial hours) in Hyderabad begins approximately 3 hours before local sunrise — typically between 3:00 AM and 5:00 AM. The exact time shifts slightly each day as sunrise changes with the season. It is the most sacred period for Gurbani recitation and meditation in the Sikh tradition.

What time is Rehras Sahib in Hyderabad today?

Rehras Sahib (evening prayer) in Hyderabad is recited at sunset. For Hyderabad (17.36°N), sunset varies through the year — Rehras begins within 15–20 minutes of local sunset.

What is Kirtan Sohila time in Hyderabad?

Kirtan Sohila (the bedtime prayer) is recited before sleep, typically around 9:00–10:00 PM or at the end of the day's activities. There is no strict astronomical time for it, but it follows Rehras Sahib in the daily Nitnem cycle.

Do Sikh Nitnem times change with location in India?

Yes. Amrit Vela is calculated relative to each city's actual sunrise time, not a single national standard. Since India spans 30° of longitude, sunrise in Hyderabad can differ from Delhi or Kolkata by 20–40 minutes. Using Hyderabad's local sunrise ensures the Amrit Vela window is accurate for your Gurdwara.
