The tithi and nakshatra shown are those at local sunrise on the selected date. They can change during the day; their end times mark the next transition.
Sunrise and sunset depend on your location. Tithi transitions occur at the same instant worldwide, but their local clock times differ. The tithi present at sunrise can therefore differ between places.
Tithi — the lunar day
Each 12° interval of the Moon’s angular separation from the Sun is one tithi. A tithi can start or end at any hour; it is not a fixed 24-hour day.
Nakshatra — the Moon’s position
The sidereal zodiac is divided into 27 equal sections. The section containing the Moon at sunrise gives the nakshatra shown here.
Calculation method
Sun and Moon positions are calculated with Swiss Ephemeris. Rashi and nakshatra use the sidereal zodiac with Lahiri ayanamsa, the adjustment between tropical and sidereal positions.
Astronomy and traditional guidance
Celestial positions and rise/set times come from astronomical calculations. Rahu Kaal and auspicious muhurat labels apply traditional Jyotish rules to those timings; they are not scientific predictions of personal outcomes.
Timing limitations
If the sunrise or sunset calculation is unavailable, approximate times may be used. This result does not identify whether that fallback was used. A missing Moon time means the time is unavailable, not proof that the Moon does not rise or set that day.

Was today's Panchang accurate?
A Panchang for Margao is the day's Hindu almanac computed from the city's own sunrise, sunset and coordinates, never one standard clock. It reads five angas together — Tithi, Vara, Nakshatra, Yoga and Karana — to describe the day's quality and choose supportive timings for puja, vrat and new beginnings.
Margao Panchang — मडगाव पंचांग
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.
Margao's solar year — sunrise, sunset and day length
In Margao the longest day runs 12h 54m (June) and the shortest 11h 06m (December) — a seasonal swing of 1h 48m. Solar noon falls +34m from the 12:00 clock hour because Margao sits at 73.99°E rather than on the 82.5°E IST meridian. Every Tithi, Nakshatra and Rahu Kaal window on this page is derived from that sunrise, not from a national average.

Which places near Margao can read these Panchang timings
Curchorem lies 13 km east of Margao and sees sunrise −1m to 0m against it, so the sunrise row of this Panchang 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.

Margao Festivals & Panchang
Margao's major festivals — — are calculated using the Hindu lunisolar calendar. Festival dates change each year because the lunar calendar drifts against the solar calendar. The Panchang above shows today's Tithi and Nakshatra. For complete annual festival almanacs with specific timings for Margao, use the Ishvaram Jyotish app.
Frequently Asked Questions
How is today's Panchang calculated for Margao?
The Panchang for Margao is calculated using Swiss Ephemeris with Margao's exact coordinates (Goa, latitude/longitude). Sunrise in Margao ranges from 6:07–7:08 AM seasonally, which affects the start of each Tithi. The Panchang shows today's Tithi, Nakshatra, Yoga, Karana, and planetary positions — all calibrated to Margao's local time.
Can nearby towns like Curchorem use Margao's Panchang timings?
Almost, with a small shift. Curchorem lies 13 km east of Margao and sees sunrise −1m to 0m against it, so the sunrise row of this Panchang moves by that much there. Across the recorded places within 150 km of Margao that shift stays between −5m and +2m through the year — the nearby-place table above lists each one. For a town whose shift runs past a few minutes, compute with its own coordinates instead of copying Margao's slot.
Why are Margao's Panchang timings different from other cities?
Panchang timings vary because they are based on actual astronomical observations for a specific location. Margao's sunrise (6:07–7:08 AM), longitude, and latitude determine the precise start and end times of Tithis, Nakshatras, and Yogas. A Margao Panchang uses the city's actual coordinates rather than a single standard Indian time.
When is undefined in Margao in 2025–2026?
undefined dates are determined by the Hindu lunisolar calendar and are the same across India, though local observance customs vary. The Panchang above shows today's Tithi and Nakshatra, which you can use to track approaching festivals. For annual festival calendars, the Ishvaram Jyotish app provides complete Indian festival almanacs with Margao-specific timing where relevant.
