Choghadiya for Somnath 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.

Somnath Choghadiya — सोमनाथ चौघड़िया

State

Gujarat

Sunrise Range

6:11–7:32 AM

Coordinates

20.90°N, 70.38°E

Somnath, the first and most sacred of the 12 Jyotirlingas, has been rebuilt 17 times after repeated destruction — a symbol of Hindu resilience. The seaside temple is lit by the setting sun at dusk. The Aarti timings at dawn and dusk are timed precisely to astronomical sunrise and sunset. Somnath is a mandatory pilgrimage for Shiva devotees. Mahashivaratri draws over 500,000 pilgrims to the town.

Local Choghadiya Context in Somnath

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

Somnath coordinate facts for Choghadiya: 20.9026 degrees north; 70.3838 degrees east; state Gujarat; timezone Asia/Kolkata; sunrise range 6:11–7:32 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 Somnath.

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

Somnath's periods are derived from 20.9026 degrees north, 70.3838 degrees east, Asia/Kolkata, and the local sunrise range 6:11–7:32 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 Somnath period against Panchang and Rahu Kaal. This page makes no local landmark, custom, or observance claim without subject-bound evidence.

Which places near Somnath can read these Choghadiya timings

Sutrapara lies 12 km south-east of Somnath 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 +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 Somnath Residents Use Choghadiya Today

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

For Somnath, read the table with the daylight span 6:11–7:32 AM, and the coordinates 20.9026 degrees north, 70.3838 degrees east. Those governed inputs separate a Somnath Choghadiya decision from a generic all-India timing rule.

For expensive or irreversible work in Somnath, treat Choghadiya as the quick filter and then verify the same date with Somnath'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 Junagadh, Rajkot, Jamnagar, Bhavnagar, Sonipat, Solapur are linked below because sunrise, sunset, and period boundaries can move even across short regional distances. Use those pages when the work starts outside Somnath.

Other Gujarat city pages here include Ahmedabad, Surat, Vadodara, Rajkot, Gandhinagar, Jamnagar. 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 Somnath?

Use the live Amrit row on this Somnath page. It is calculated from सोमनाथ / Somnath, Gujarat, 20.9026 degrees north, 70.3838 degrees east, and the local sunrise range 6:11–7:32 AM, so the start shown here belongs to Somnath only.

Is Somnath Choghadiya different from nearby cities?

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

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

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

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