Shimla Choghadiya — शिमला चौघड़िया
State
Himachal Pradesh
Sunrise Range
5:21–7:25 AM
Coordinates
31.10°N, 77.17°E
Shimla, Himachal Pradesh's capital and former British summer capital. High altitude means longer twilights — panchanga calculations are especially valuable here.
Local Choghadiya Context in Shimla
If festival preparation, a vrat, puja sankalp, travel, a shop opening, document signing, or a family decision starts inside Shimla, use this city's table. No local observance is inferred without subject-bound evidence.
Shimla coordinate facts for Choghadiya: 31.1048 degrees north; 77.1734 degrees east; state Himachal Pradesh; timezone Asia/Kolkata; sunrise range 5:21–7:25 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 Shimla.
Shimla Choghadiya belongs to the place where the first irreversible step begins. Living elsewhere in Himachal Pradesh, or dealing with someone in another city, does not change that starting location.
Shimla's periods are derived from 31.1048 degrees north, 77.1734 degrees east, Asia/Kolkata, and the local sunrise range 5:21–7:25 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 Shimla period against Panchang and Rahu Kaal. This page makes no local landmark, custom, or observance claim without subject-bound evidence.
Which places near Shimla can read these Choghadiya timings
Solan lies 23 km south of Shimla 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 +4m 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 Shimla Residents Use Choghadiya Today
Use the Shimla table for the place where the first physical action begins. If the person lives in Himachal Pradesh but the journey, delivery, meeting, griha pravesh, or sankalp starts elsewhere, switch to that city's page before choosing the muhurat.
For Shimla, read the table with the daylight span 5:21–7:25 AM, and the coordinates 31.1048 degrees north, 77.1734 degrees east. Those governed inputs separate a Shimla Choghadiya decision from a generic all-India timing rule.
For expensive or irreversible work in Shimla, treat Choghadiya as the quick filter and then verify the same date with Shimla'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 Solan, Chandigarh, Mohali, Mandi, Shirdi, Shillong are linked below because sunrise, sunset, and period boundaries can move even across short regional distances. Use those pages when the work starts outside Shimla.
Other Himachal Pradesh city pages here include Dharamsala, Manali, Solan, Mandi. 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 Shimla?
Use the live Amrit row on this Shimla page. It is calculated from शिमला / Shimla, Himachal Pradesh, 31.1048 degrees north, 77.1734 degrees east, and the local sunrise range 5:21–7:25 AM, so the start shown here belongs to Shimla only.
Is Shimla Choghadiya different from nearby cities?
Yes. The table divides Shimla's daylight and night into local periods. Another city in Himachal Pradesh can shift a boundary, so keep Shimla's row only for work that starts in Shimla.
How should I use Shimla Choghadiya around a festival or vrat?
Use a supportive Shimla period for the first step of the plan, then confirm the full day with Shimla'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 Shimla Choghadiya or Rahu Kaal first?
Use both for Shimla. First choose a supportive Choghadiya period for the work, then check that the same Shimla slot does not overlap Rahu Kaal.
