Choghadiya for Kumbakonam 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.

Kumbakonam Choghadiya — कुम्बकोणम चौघड़िया

State

Tamil Nadu

Sunrise Range

5:54–6:39 AM

Coordinates

10.96°N, 79.38°E

Kumbakonam takes its very name from legend: a primordial pot (kumbha) said to contain the seeds of all life came to rest here by Shiva's arrow, giving rise to both the city and the Adi Kumbeswarar Shiva temple, a 9th-century Chola-era shrine at the city's heart and the focal point of the once-in-12-years Mahamaham festival when lakhs bathe in the sacred Mahamaham tank. The Sarangapani temple, tallest Vishnu shrine in Kumbakonam and a Divya Desam, stands in the same precinct. Panchang, choghadiya, and rahu kaal timings are computed for Kumbakonam's exact coordinates, on the Cauvery-Arasalar delta.

Local Choghadiya Context in Kumbakonam

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

Kumbakonam coordinate facts for Choghadiya: 10.9617 degrees north; 79.3788 degrees east; state Tamil Nadu; timezone Asia/Kolkata; sunrise range 5:54–6:39 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 Kumbakonam.

Kumbakonam 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.

Kumbakonam's periods are derived from 10.9617 degrees north, 79.3788 degrees east, Asia/Kolkata, and the local sunrise range 5:54–6:39 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 Kumbakonam period against Panchang and Rahu Kaal. This page makes no local landmark, custom, or observance claim without subject-bound evidence.

Which places near Kumbakonam can read these Choghadiya timings

Jayamkondacholapuram lies 28 km north of Kumbakonam and sees sunrise −1m 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 −2m 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.

How Kumbakonam Residents Use Choghadiya Today

Use the Kumbakonam 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 Kumbakonam, read the table with the daylight span 5:54–6:39 AM, and the coordinates 10.9617 degrees north, 79.3788 degrees east. Those governed inputs separate a Kumbakonam Choghadiya decision from a generic all-India timing rule.

For expensive or irreversible work in Kumbakonam, treat Choghadiya as the quick filter and then verify the same date with Kumbakonam'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 Thanjavur, Tiruchirappalli, Puducherry, Tiruvannamalai, Kurnool, Kozhikode are linked below because sunrise, sunset, and period boundaries can move even across short regional distances. Use those pages when the work starts outside Kumbakonam.

Other Tamil Nadu city pages here include Chennai, Coimbatore, Madurai, Tiruchirappalli, Salem, Tirupur. 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 Kumbakonam?

Use the live Amrit row on this Kumbakonam page. It is calculated from कुम्बकोणम / Kumbakonam, Tamil Nadu, 10.9617 degrees north, 79.3788 degrees east, and the local sunrise range 5:54–6:39 AM, so the start shown here belongs to Kumbakonam only.

Is Kumbakonam Choghadiya different from nearby cities?

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

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

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

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