Salem Choghadiya — सेलम चौघड़िया
State
Tamil Nadu
Sunrise Range
5:58 AM–6:36 AM
Coordinates
11.66°N, 78.15°E
Salem's spiritual life centres on two ancient temples within the city: the Arulmigu Sugavaneswarar Shiva temple near the old bus stand, a 500-year-old Vijayanagara-era shrine known as the Kili Valamudair Kovil for its renowned stone carvings, and the Kottai Mariamman temple on the Tirumanimuthar riverbank, regarded as the eldest among Salem's eight city Mariamman shrines. The city marks the Aadi festival at Kottai Mariamman with fire-walking, Aadi Pooram at Sugavaneswarar, Navarathri, and Masi Magam. Panchang, choghadiya, and rahu kaal timings are computed for Salem's exact coordinates, in the foothills of the Shevaroy Hills.
Local Choghadiya Context in Salem
Salem (सेलम) local observances include Aadi Festival at Kottai Mariamman, Aadi Pooram, Navarathri. Keep this page for starts that happen inside Salem: festival preparation, vrat planning, puja sankalp, travel departure, shop opening, document signing, and family decisions tied to the city's own panchang.

Salem's local Choghadiya context is anchored by Salem, सेलम, Tamil, Nadu, Salem's, spiritual, life, centres, ancient, within, city, Arulmigu, Sugavaneswarar, Shiva, near, stand, year-old, Vijayanagara-era. These local markers matter because a period chosen for a shop opening, temple visit, document signing, or journey should match the place where the first action physically begins.
How Salem Residents Use Choghadiya Today
Use the Salem 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 Salem, read the table with the city's festival calendar (Aadi Festival at Kottai Mariamman, Aadi Pooram, Navarathri), the daylight span 5:58 AM–6:36 AM, and the coordinates 11.6643 degrees north, 78.1460 degrees east. That combination is what separates a Salem Choghadiya decision from a generic all-India timing rule.
For expensive or irreversible work in Salem, treat Choghadiya as the quick filter and then verify the same date with Salem's Panchang, Rahu Kaal, and Shubh Muhurat pages. All three use the same local coordinate set.
Nearby timing pages for Bangalore, Chennai, Guruvayur are linked below because sunrise, sunset, and period boundaries can move even across short regional distances. Use those pages when the work starts outside Salem.
Other Tamil Nadu city pages here include Chennai. Compare them only for route planning or family coordination; choose the final muhurat from the exact city where the first action begins.
