How to use Rishikesh'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 Rishikesh'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 Rishikesh's sunrise and sunset every day. For the full period-by-period table, open the Rishikesh Choghadiya page; for tithi, nakshatra and yoga, see the Rishikesh Panchang.
Rishikesh's solar year — sunrise, sunset and day length
In Rishikesh the longest day runs 13h 56m (June) and the shortest 10h 05m (December) — a seasonal swing of 3h 51m. Solar noon falls +17m from the 12:00 clock hour because Rishikesh sits at 78.27°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 Rishikesh can read these Shubh Muhurat timings
Haridwar lies 19 km south-west of Rishikesh and sees sunrise 0m to +1m against it, so every sunrise-anchored muhurat window above moves by that much there. Across every place listed below the shift runs −3m 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 Rishikesh today?
Today's most reliable auspicious window in Rishikesh is the Abhijit Muhurta (11:46–12:35), which suits almost any important task. For day-to-day work, Shubh Choghadiya (07:38–09:09) is the strongest Choghadiya period. All windows are computed with Swiss Ephemeris for Rishikesh's exact coordinates, so they are specific to Rishikesh and not a national average.
Which times should I avoid in Rishikesh today?
Avoid starting new or important work during Rahu Kaal (09:09–10:40), Yamaganda, and Gulika Kaal in Rishikesh — these are the inauspicious windows shown above. They shift daily with Rishikesh's sunrise and sunset, which is why the digest recomputes them for the current date.
Can nearby towns like Haridwar use Rishikesh's Shubh Muhurat timings?
Almost, with a small shift. Haridwar lies 19 km south-west of Rishikesh and sees sunrise 0m to +1m against it, so every sunrise-anchored muhurat window above moves by that much there. Across the recorded places within 150 km of Rishikesh that shift stays between −3m 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 Rishikesh's slot.
How is Rishikesh'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 Rishikesh at a glance. Open the Rishikesh Choghadiya or Panchang page for the full breakdown.
