Kumbakonam takes its very name from legend: a primordial pot (kumbha) said to contain the seeds of all life came to rest here by Shiva's arrow, giving rise to both the city and the Adi Kumbeswarar Shiva temple, a 9th-century Chola-era shrine at the city's heart and the focal point of the once-in-12-years Mahamaham festival when lakhs bathe in the sacred Mahamaham tank. The Sarangapani temple, tallest Vishnu shrine in Kumbakonam and a Divya Desam, stands in the same precinct. Panchang, choghadiya, and rahu kaal timings are computed for Kumbakonam's exact coordinates, on the Cauvery-Arasalar delta.

How to use Kumbakonam'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 Kumbakonam'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 Kumbakonam's sunrise and sunset every day. For the full period-by-period table, open the Kumbakonam Choghadiya page; for tithi, nakshatra and yoga, see the Kumbakonam Panchang.
Kumbakonam's solar year — sunrise, sunset and day length
In Kumbakonam the longest day runs 12h 38m (June) and the shortest 11h 22m (December) — a seasonal swing of 1h 16m. Solar noon falls +12m from the 12:00 clock hour because Kumbakonam sits at 79.38°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 Kumbakonam can read these Shubh Muhurat timings
Jayamkondacholapuram lies 28 km north of Kumbakonam and sees sunrise −1m to +1m against it, so every sunrise-anchored muhurat window above moves by that much there. Across every place listed below the shift runs −2m 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.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the shubh muhurat in Kumbakonam today?
Today's most reliable auspicious window in Kumbakonam is the Abhijit Muhurta (11:42–12:30), which suits almost any important task. For day-to-day work, Shubh Choghadiya (07:36–09:06) is the strongest Choghadiya period. All windows are computed with Swiss Ephemeris for Kumbakonam's exact coordinates, so they are specific to Kumbakonam and not a national average.
Which times should I avoid in Kumbakonam today?
Avoid starting new or important work during Rahu Kaal (09:06–10:36), Yamaganda, and Gulika Kaal in Kumbakonam — these are the inauspicious windows shown above. They shift daily with Kumbakonam's sunrise and sunset, which is why the digest recomputes them for the current date.
Can nearby towns like Jayamkondacholapuram use Kumbakonam's Shubh Muhurat timings?
Almost, with a small shift. Jayamkondacholapuram lies 28 km north of Kumbakonam and sees sunrise −1m to +1m against it, so every sunrise-anchored muhurat window above moves by that much there. Across the recorded places within 150 km of Kumbakonam that shift stays between −2m and +3m 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 Kumbakonam's slot.
How is Kumbakonam'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 Kumbakonam at a glance. Open the Kumbakonam Choghadiya or Panchang page for the full breakdown.
