Aurangabad · India
Vedic astrology in Aurangabad, once the record identifies it
More than one Indian city is called Aurangabad, so vedic astrology needs the one written on the record before it geocodes a place. Whichever it is, the civil clock is Indian Standard Time. Asia/Kolkata does not observe daylight saving. Maharashtra's Aurangabad is also written Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar. A different Aurangabad is in Bihar. The nickname you use in the family is not a disambiguation the geocoder can guess.

Say which Aurangabad
If the certificate says Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar, enter that name rather than a memory of the older one, and keep the time identical if you test both strings. If the certificate says Aurangabad and the family is from Bihar, do not accept a Maharashtra geocode just because that city is better known. Same national offset, UTC plus 5 hours 30 minutes, different places, different lagnas possible.
The rename did not move the hour
A government renaming is not a time-zone reform. June and December still share one offset, because India does not use daylight saving. Do not 'update' a 1990s birth time because the city letters changed in a later decade. The Vimshottari dasha already running is counted from the birth instant, not from the date of the new name.
Abroad, the ambiguity gets a third city
A form filled overseas may drop Aurangabad entirely and insert the new residence, which can observe daylight saving. That is a third place, not a resolution of the two Indian names. Resolve the Indian city first. Marriage is then read from the 7th house, its lord, and D9 of that chart, not from the city you found easiest to spell.

Frequently asked questions
Does vedic astrology use one zone for every Aurangabad?
Yes. Indian births use Asia/Kolkata, with no daylight saving. The cities do not share a geocode. Identify the one on the record before you cast.
Is Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar a different birth from Maharashtra's Aurangabad?
It is the newer name of that city. Keep the recorded time. Do not also mix in the Aurangabad that is in Bihar.
Can the chart be sidereal under Lahiri for this birth?
Yes. Jyothish SI casts a sidereal chart with the Lahiri ayanamsa and Swiss Ephemeris, once the city and the Indian Standard Time are the ones on the paper.
