Choghadiya for Margao 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.

Margao Choghadiya — मडगाव चौघड़िया

State

Goa

Sunrise Range

6:07–7:08 AM

Coordinates

15.28°N, 73.99°E

Margao, also called Madgaon, is the commercial capital of South Goa and a historic Gowda Saraswat Brahmin heartland. Shigmo processions also pass through Margao's streets. Panchang, choghadiya, and rahu kaal timings are computed for Margao's exact coordinates.

Local Choghadiya Context in Margao

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

Margao coordinate facts for Choghadiya: 15.2832 degrees north; 73.9862 degrees east; state Goa; timezone Asia/Kolkata; sunrise range 6:07–7:08 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 Margao.

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

Margao's periods are derived from 15.2832 degrees north, 73.9862 degrees east, Asia/Kolkata, and the local sunrise range 6:07–7:08 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 Margao period against Panchang and Rahu Kaal. This page makes no local landmark, custom, or observance claim without subject-bound evidence.

Which places near Margao can read these Choghadiya timings

Curchorem lies 13 km east of Margao and sees sunrise −1m to 0m against it, so the first Choghadiya boundary in the table above moves by that much there. Across every place listed below the shift runs −5m to +2m 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 Margao and their own sunrise — across twelve monthly samples in 2026 (places from GeoNames geographical database (CC BY 4.0), times from Swiss Ephemeris)

How Margao Residents Use Choghadiya Today

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

For Margao, read the table with the daylight span 6:07–7:08 AM, and the coordinates 15.2832 degrees north, 73.9862 degrees east. Those governed inputs separate a Margao Choghadiya decision from a generic all-India timing rule.

For expensive or irreversible work in Margao, treat Choghadiya as the quick filter and then verify the same date with Margao'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 Panaji, Belagavi, Hubli-Dharwad, Kolhapur, Mathura, Mangaluru are linked below because sunrise, sunset, and period boundaries can move even across short regional distances. Use those pages when the work starts outside Margao.

Other Goa city pages here include Panaji. 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 Margao?

Use the live Amrit row on this Margao page. It is calculated from मडगाव / Margao, Goa, 15.2832 degrees north, 73.9862 degrees east, and the local sunrise range 6:07–7:08 AM, so the start shown here belongs to Margao only.

Is Margao Choghadiya different from nearby cities?

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

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

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

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