How to use Thanjavur'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 Thanjavur'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 Thanjavur's sunrise and sunset every day. For the full period-by-period table, open the Thanjavur Choghadiya page; for tithi, nakshatra and yoga, see the Thanjavur Panchang.
Thanjavur's solar year — sunrise, sunset and day length
In Thanjavur the longest day runs 12h 38m (June) and the shortest 11h 23m (December) — a seasonal swing of 1h 15m. Solar noon falls +14m from the 12:00 clock hour because Thanjavur sits at 79.14°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 Thanjavur can read these Shubh Muhurat timings
Nanjikkottai lies 6 km south of Thanjavur and sees sunrise −1m to 0m against it, so every sunrise-anchored muhurat window above moves by that much there. Across every place listed below the shift runs −3m 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.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the shubh muhurat in Thanjavur today?
Today's most reliable auspicious window in Thanjavur is the Abhijit Muhurta (11:43–12:31), which suits almost any important task. For day-to-day work, Shubh Choghadiya (07:36–09:07) is the strongest Choghadiya period. All windows are computed with Swiss Ephemeris for Thanjavur's exact coordinates, so they are specific to Thanjavur and not a national average.
Which times should I avoid in Thanjavur today?
Avoid starting new or important work during Rahu Kaal (09:07–10:37), Yamaganda, and Gulika Kaal in Thanjavur — these are the inauspicious windows shown above. They shift daily with Thanjavur's sunrise and sunset, which is why the digest recomputes them for the current date.
Can nearby towns like Nanjikkottai use Thanjavur's Shubh Muhurat timings?
Almost, with a small shift. Nanjikkottai lies 6 km south of Thanjavur and sees sunrise −1m to 0m against it, so every sunrise-anchored muhurat window above moves by that much there. Across the recorded places within 150 km of Thanjavur that shift stays between −3m 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 Thanjavur's slot.
How is Thanjavur'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 Thanjavur at a glance. Open the Thanjavur Choghadiya or Panchang page for the full breakdown.
