Today's Panchang in Washington, D.C.

Sri Siva Vishnu Temple in Lanham is the agama anchor for the DMV; Rajdhani Mandir in Chantilly serves the Hindi-speaking belt of Fairfax. Embassy-district Indians often keep IST on their phones — that clock is wrong for a Virginia griha-pravesh muhurat.

Eastern Time with DST. Lanham (SSVT) and Chantilly (Rajdhani Mandir) share the civil date; sunrise differs by a few minutes across the Beltway.
