Why the names get confused
Nearly every series in this family is named after a place, a time of day, or both. Delhi Noon, Delhi Day, Punjab Day, Faridabad, Ghaziabad Noon, Himachal Noon — the naming convention is shared, so the names sit only a word apart from one another. Put ten of them in a single column on one page, which is how they are normally circulated, and mistaking one for another takes no carelessness at all.
The consequence is practical rather than academic. A reader who copies a figure from the wrong row ends up with a correct number attached to the wrong series, and there is nothing in the number itself to reveal the mistake. Two digits look identical whichever row they came from, which is why this archive treats the series name as part of the record rather than as context around it.
The series, side by side
The table below lists the names most often seen beside Delhi Noon, the rough slot each one occupies, and whether this archive holds records for it. No values are shown for any series other than Delhi Noon, because none of the others are sourced or verified here.
| Series name | Slot | In this archive | What the name refers to |
|---|---|---|---|
| Delhi Noon | Midday | Covered | The series this archive covers. Named for its midday slot, nominally 12:00 IST. Also written Delhi Non, Delhi Noor, Delhi News and Dilli Noon in circulated listings. |
| Punjab Day | Daytime | Not covered | A separate daytime series, printed beside Delhi Noon on most public charts. Frequently searched together with it, which is why the two are so often assumed to be one. |
| Delhi Bazar / New Delhi Bazar | Afternoon | Not covered | Two related names for afternoon listings. The "New" prefix marks a distinct series rather than an updated version of the older one. |
| Delhi Day | Daytime | Not covered | Named by time of day rather than by place, which puts it one word away from both Delhi Noon and Punjab Day in most searches. |
| Faridabad | Evening | Not covered | A place-named series. "New Faridabad" and "Faridabad Noon" circulate as further separate names under the same root. |
| Ghaziabad | Evening | Not covered | Another place-named series, with a separately listed "Ghaziabad Noon" variant that is not the same thing as Delhi Noon. |
| Gali | Night | Not covered | A late-slot series, usually the last row on a daily listing and almost always printed together with Disawar. |
| Disawar | Early morning | Not covered | An early-slot series whose entry belongs to the previous listing day, which is a common source of date confusion when comparing charts. |
| Himachal Noon | Midday | Not covered | Shares the "Noon" suffix and the midday slot with Delhi Noon but is a separate series with its own listings. |
| Kashipur | Varies | Not covered | A regionally named series that appears on some listings and not others, which makes cross-source comparison for it unusually unreliable. |
Slots are approximate and describe the part of the day a series is conventionally associated with. They are not publication guarantees, and they are not used to date any record in this archive.
What this archive covers
One series: Delhi Noon. The chart archive holds 1,361 dated entries covering 1 Jan 2023 to 22 Sep 2026, and every one of them belongs to that series alone.
Adding a second series would mean sourcing it, cross-checking every date against two independent public listings, and maintaining it daily on the same terms. Until that work is done, a table published here for Punjab Day or Delhi Bazar would be indistinguishable from a guess — and it would sit on the same site as records that were checked properly, quietly lowering what the rest of the archive is worth. The editorial policy sets out why the line is drawn where it is.
If you came here for another series
This site has no figures for it and will not estimate any. What it can offer is the method: how to read a data archive applies to any dated listing, whichever name sits at the top of it.
Delhi Noon, Delhi Non, Delhi Noor
Alongside the genuinely separate series sits a set of spellings that all point at the same one. Delhi Non, Delhi Noor, Delhi News, Delhi Moon, Dilli Noon, Dehli Noon and the shortened DN are all attempts at Delhi Noon, produced by transliteration between scripts, by autocorrect, or by someone writing down a name they had only ever heard aloud.
These are not separate series, and there is no separate record set behind any of them. If you arrived at this site searching one of those spellings, the Delhi Noon chart archive is the record set you were looking for. Readers searching in Devanagari can use the हिन्दी edition of the same material.
Why the same date can disagree
Two listings can carry the same series and the same date and still show different values, and the reason is usually the date rather than the value. A series whose slot falls in the early morning — Disawar is the standard example — has an entry that many listings date to the previous day, because that is the listing day it belongs to. Compare two such charts naively and every row looks shifted by one.
This is why one consistent date format matters more than it sounds like it should. This archive dates every Delhi Noon entry to the calendar date its slot falls on, in ISO form, year first, with no exceptions — so a disagreement with another source is a genuine disagreement about the value, rather than an artefact of two date conventions being compared.
Reading a multi-series listing
If you are reading a circulated chart that carries ten series at once, three habits remove almost all of the risk of mixing them up.
- Read the row label before the number, every time. The number gives no clue which series produced it, so the label is the only thing carrying that information.
- Note the date convention the listing uses. If it is day-first, write the date out in full before comparing it with anything, because 03-04 and 04-03 are the same characters and different days.
- Check one known date against a second source first. If a listing agrees with the archived record on a date you can already verify, it is more likely to be reliable on the dates you cannot.
None of this makes any listing authoritative, and none of it turns a past entry into information about a future one. That limit holds for every series in the table above, and it is covered in full in why past charts cannot predict the next number.
In one line
The names beside Delhi Noon are separate series, not variants of it — and the variants that are Delhi Noon are spellings, not separate record sets.
