Frequently Asked Questions

What time is Amrit Vela in Meerut today?

Amrit Vela (the ambrosial hours) in Meerut 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 Meerut today?

Rehras Sahib (evening prayer) in Meerut is recited at sunset. For Meerut (28.98°N), sunset varies through the year — Rehras begins within 15–20 minutes of local sunset.

What is Kirtan Sohila time in Meerut?

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 Meerut can differ from Delhi or Kolkata by 20–40 minutes. Using Meerut's local sunrise ensures the Amrit Vela window is accurate for your Gurdwara.
