Times for Kathmandu, Bagmati, Nepal (Asia/Kathmandu, GMT+545:45 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 Singapore & Asia
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.

Are these times in Kathmandu local time, with daylight saving?
Yes. Every time on this page is Kathmandu local time (GMT+545:45 today, time zone Asia/Kathmandu), so daylight-saving changes are already included.
Which tithi should Jains in Kathmandu follow?
The tithi shown here follows the Indian panchang. Because of the time difference, Jain centres abroad often announce their own dates for Paryushan, Samvatsari and other parvas — follow your local sangh for vows. Daily pachkhan times on this page are always for Kathmandu.
