Local Choghadiya Context in Varanasi
Varanasi (वाराणसी) has source-verified local observance context for Dev Deepawali, Ganga Dussehra, Mahashivaratri. If a plan around one of those observances starts inside Varanasi, use this city's table for the first step.
Varanasi coordinate facts for Choghadiya: 25.3176 degrees north; 82.9739 degrees east; state Uttar Pradesh; timezone Asia/Kolkata; sunrise range 5:11–6:50 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 Varanasi.
Varanasi Choghadiya belongs to the place where the first irreversible step begins. Living elsewhere in Uttar Pradesh, or dealing with someone in another city, does not change that starting location.
Varanasi's periods are derived from 25.3176 degrees north, 82.9739 degrees east, Asia/Kolkata, and the local sunrise range 5:11–6:50 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 Varanasi period against Panchang and Rahu Kaal. This page makes no local landmark, custom, or observance claim without subject-bound evidence.
Which places near Varanasi can read these Choghadiya timings
Ramnagar lies 8 km south-east of Varanasi 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 −4m 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 Varanasi Residents Use Choghadiya Today
Use the Varanasi table for the place where the first physical action begins. If the person lives in Uttar Pradesh but the journey, delivery, meeting, griha pravesh, or sankalp starts elsewhere, switch to that city's page before choosing the muhurat.
For Varanasi, read the table with the source-verified observance context (Dev Deepawali, Ganga Dussehra, Mahashivaratri), the daylight span 5:11–6:50 AM, and the coordinates 25.3176 degrees north, 82.9739 degrees east. Those governed inputs separate a Varanasi Choghadiya decision from a generic all-India timing rule.
For expensive or irreversible work in Varanasi, treat Choghadiya as the quick filter and then verify the same date with Varanasi'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 Prayagraj, Singrauli, Gorakhpur, Ayodhya, Vellore, Vadodara are linked below because sunrise, sunset, and period boundaries can move even across short regional distances. Use those pages when the work starts outside Varanasi.
Other Uttar Pradesh city pages here include Lucknow, Kanpur, Ghaziabad, Agra, Meerut, Prayagraj. Compare them only for route planning or family coordination; choose the final muhurat from the exact city where the first action begins.
