Choghadiya for Gaya divides the day, sunrise to sunset, and the night into 8 windows each, timed by the city's own sun times. Seven names rotate through them: Amrit, Shubh and Labh are auspicious, Char is neutral, while Rog, Kaal and Udveg are traditionally avoided for new beginnings.

Gaya Choghadiya — गया चौघड़िया

State

Bihar

Sunrise Range

5:05–6:40 AM

Coordinates

24.79°N, 85.00°E

Gaya, revered as Moksha Bhoomi, follows Indian Standard Time. Panchang, choghadiya, and rahu kaal timings are computed for Gaya's exact coordinates.

Local Choghadiya Context in Gaya

If festival preparation, a vrat, puja sankalp, travel, a shop opening, document signing, or a family decision starts inside Gaya, use this city's table. No local observance is inferred without subject-bound evidence.

Gaya coordinate facts for Choghadiya: 24.7914 degrees north; 85.0002 degrees east; state Bihar; timezone Asia/Kolkata; sunrise range 5:05–6:40 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 Gaya.

Gaya Choghadiya belongs to the place where the first irreversible step begins. Living elsewhere in Bihar, or dealing with someone in another city, does not change that starting location.

Gaya's periods are derived from 24.7914 degrees north, 85.0002 degrees east, Asia/Kolkata, and the local sunrise range 5:05–6:40 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 Gaya period against Panchang and Rahu Kaal. This page makes no local landmark, custom, or observance claim without subject-bound evidence.

Which places near Gaya can read these Choghadiya timings

Tekari lies 23 km north-west of Gaya 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 −3m to +3m and each of the eight daylight periods keeps the same length it has here, so the periods do not stretch — only the boundary moves.

Recorded places within 150 km of Gaya and their own sunrise — across twelve monthly samples in 2026 (places from GeoNames geographical database (CC BY 4.0), times from Swiss Ephemeris)

How Gaya Residents Use Choghadiya Today

Use the Gaya table for the place where the first physical action begins. If the person lives in Bihar but the journey, delivery, meeting, griha pravesh, or sankalp starts elsewhere, switch to that city's page before choosing the muhurat.

For Gaya, read the table with the daylight span 5:05–6:40 AM, and the coordinates 24.7914 degrees north, 85.0002 degrees east. Those governed inputs separate a Gaya Choghadiya decision from a generic all-India timing rule.

For expensive or irreversible work in Gaya, treat Choghadiya as the quick filter and then verify the same date with Gaya'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 Bodh Gaya, Patna, Begusarai, Muzaffarpur, Ghaziabad, Gangtok are linked below because sunrise, sunset, and period boundaries can move even across short regional distances. Use those pages when the work starts outside Gaya.

Other Bihar city pages here include Patna, Muzaffarpur, Bhagalpur, Darbhanga, Bodh Gaya, Purnia. 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 Gaya?

Use the live Amrit row on this Gaya page. It is calculated from गया / Gaya, Bihar, 24.7914 degrees north, 85.0002 degrees east, and the local sunrise range 5:05–6:40 AM, so the start shown here belongs to Gaya only.

Is Gaya Choghadiya different from nearby cities?

Yes. The table divides Gaya's daylight and night into local periods. Another city in Bihar can shift a boundary, so keep Gaya's row only for work that starts in Gaya.

How should I use Gaya Choghadiya around a festival or vrat?

Use a supportive Gaya period for the first step of the plan, then confirm the full day with Gaya'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 Gaya Choghadiya or Rahu Kaal first?

Use both for Gaya. First choose a supportive Choghadiya period for the work, then check that the same Gaya slot does not overlap Rahu Kaal.
