How to use Gangtok's Shubh Muhurat
A shubh muhurat is an auspicious window for starting important work — a puja, a journey, a purchase, signing a document or beginning a new venture. The digest above ranks Gangtok's windows for the chosen date: lead with Abhijit Muhurta (self-auspicious, around noon) when you need a dependable slot, use Brahma Muhurta for prayer and study, Vijaya Muhurta for new ventures and travel, and Godhuli Muhurta for evening puja and weddings.
Equally important is what to avoid: Rahu Kaal, Yamaganda and Gulika Kaal are inauspicious for new beginnings and shift with Gangtok's sunrise and sunset every day. For the full period-by-period table, open the Gangtok Choghadiya page; for tithi, nakshatra and yoga, see the Gangtok Panchang.
Gangtok's solar year — sunrise, sunset and day length
In Gangtok the longest day runs 13h 43m (June) and the shortest 10h 17m (December) — a seasonal swing of 3h 26m. Solar noon falls −24m from the 12:00 clock hour because Gangtok sits at 88.61°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.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the shubh muhurat in Gangtok today?
Today's most reliable auspicious window in Gangtok is the Abhijit Muhurta (11:05–11:53), which suits almost any important task. For day-to-day work, Shubh Choghadiya (06:57–08:28) is the strongest Choghadiya period. All windows are computed with Swiss Ephemeris for Gangtok's exact coordinates, so they are specific to Gangtok and not a national average.
Which times should I avoid in Gangtok today?
Avoid starting new or important work during Rahu Kaal (08:28–09:58), Yamaganda, and Gulika Kaal in Gangtok — these are the inauspicious windows shown above. They shift daily with Gangtok's sunrise and sunset, which is why the digest recomputes them for the current date.
Can nearby towns like Kalimpong use Gangtok's Shubh Muhurat timings?
Almost, with a small shift. Kalimpong lies 32 km south-west of Gangtok and sees sunrise 0m to +2m against it, so every sunrise-anchored muhurat window above moves by that much there. Across the recorded places within 150 km of Gangtok that shift stays between −6m and +6m 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 Gangtok's slot.
How is Gangtok's shubh muhurat different from Choghadiya or Panchang?
Choghadiya gives you the raw 8+8 period table and Panchang gives the full tithi/nakshatra almanac. This page is a curated digest: it surfaces only the named auspicious muhurats (Brahma, Abhijit, Vijaya, Godhuli), the best Choghadiya windows, and the times to avoid — so you can pick a muhurat in Gangtok at a glance. Open the Gangtok Choghadiya or Panchang page for the full breakdown.
