Times for Dar es Salaam, Tanzania (Africa/Dar_es_Salaam, EAT today), computed from local sunrise and sunset on the fixed-prahar convention. Some sanghs reckon these as fractions of daylight instead, which gives slightly different times; follow your own sangh’s panchang for a vow.
For Jain families in Kenya & Africa
Summer evenings, early winter sunsets and daylight saving make pachkhan abroad different every month. Compare cities, read the practical guide, and connect with Jains who live where you do.
