Frequently Asked Questions

What time is Amrit Vela in Nagpur today?

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

Rehras Sahib (evening prayer) in Nagpur is recited at sunset. For Nagpur (21.15°N), sunset varies through the year — Rehras begins within 15–20 minutes of local sunset.

What is Kirtan Sohila time in Nagpur?

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