Chennai Choghadiya — चेन्नई चौघड़िया
State
Tamil Nadu
Sunrise Range
5:46–6:39 AM

Chennai, Tamil Nadu's capital. Tamils have a rich Panchanga tradition — the Tamil Panchangam is consulted alongside Hindi almanacs for auspicious timings.
Local Choghadiya Context in Chennai
If festival preparation, a vrat, puja sankalp, travel, a shop opening, document signing, or a family decision starts inside Chennai, use this city's table. No local observance is inferred without subject-bound evidence.
Chennai coordinate facts for Choghadiya: 13.0827 degrees north; 80.2707 degrees east; state Tamil Nadu; timezone Asia/Kolkata; sunrise range 5:46–6:39 AM. These facts define the city's daylight envelope, so do not copy a Shubh, Labh, Amrit, Char, Kaal, Rog, or Udveg slot from another city into Chennai.
Chennai Choghadiya belongs to the place where the first irreversible step begins. Living elsewhere in Tamil Nadu, or dealing with someone in another city, does not change that starting location.
Chennai's periods are derived from 13.0827 degrees north, 80.2707 degrees east, Asia/Kolkata, and the local sunrise range 5:46–6:39 AM. A table calculated for another city is therefore not interchangeable with this one.
Name the physical action first — payment, signature, journey, delivery, shop opening, or puja sankalp — then check that Chennai period against Panchang and Rahu Kaal. This page makes no local landmark, custom, or observance claim without subject-bound evidence.
Which places near Chennai can read these Choghadiya timings
Nerkunram lies 7 km west of Chennai and sees sunrise 0m to +1m against it, so the first Choghadiya boundary in the table above moves by that much there. Across every place listed below the shift runs 0m to +1m and each of the eight daylight periods keeps the same length it has here, so the periods do not stretch — only the boundary moves.

|---|---|---|---|---|

| Madhavaram | 8 km | north-west | 0m to +1m | same |

How Chennai Residents Use Choghadiya Today
Use the Chennai table for the place where the first physical action begins. If the person lives in Tamil Nadu but the journey, delivery, meeting, griha pravesh, or sankalp starts elsewhere, switch to that city's page before choosing the muhurat.
For Chennai, read the table with the daylight span 5:46–6:39 AM, and the coordinates 13.0827 degrees north, 80.2707 degrees east. Those governed inputs separate a Chennai Choghadiya decision from a generic all-India timing rule.
For expensive or irreversible work in Chennai, treat Choghadiya as the quick filter and then verify the same date with Chennai's Panchang, Rahu Kaal, and Shubh Muhurat pages. All three use the same local coordinate set.
Compare the selected Choghadiya with the day's Panchang and Rahu Kaal before fixing the final muhurat.
Nearby timing pages for Kancheepuram, Tirupati, Vellore, Puducherry, Coimbatore, Chandigarh are linked below because sunrise, sunset, and period boundaries can move even across short regional distances. Use those pages when the work starts outside Chennai.
Other Tamil Nadu city pages here include Coimbatore, Madurai, Tiruchirappalli, Salem, Tirupur, Tirunelveli. Compare them only for route planning or family coordination; choose the final muhurat from the exact city where the first action begins.
Frequently Asked Questions
What time does Amrit Choghadiya start today in Chennai?
Use the live Amrit row on this Chennai page. It is calculated from चेन्नई / Chennai, Tamil Nadu, 13.0827 degrees north, 80.2707 degrees east, and the local sunrise range 5:46–6:39 AM, so the start shown here belongs to Chennai only.
Is Chennai Choghadiya different from nearby cities?
Yes. The table divides Chennai's daylight and night into local periods. Another city in Tamil Nadu can shift a boundary, so keep Chennai's row only for work that starts in Chennai.
How should I use Chennai Choghadiya around a festival or vrat?
Use a supportive Chennai period for the first step of the plan, then confirm the full day with Chennai's Panchang when the ritual, vrat, shop opening, or journey has higher stakes. The page does not label an observance local without subject-bound sources.
Should I use Chennai Choghadiya or Rahu Kaal first?
Use both for Chennai. First choose a supportive Choghadiya period for the work, then check that the same Chennai slot does not overlap Rahu Kaal.
