Goa Panchang July 2026

In July 2026 the sun rises in Goa as early as 06:07 on Wednesday 1 July and Thursday 2 July and as late as 06:16 on Thursday 30 July and Friday 31 July — a spread of 9 minutes across the month. Sunset moves from 19:09 on Wednesday 1 July to 19:05 on Thursday 30 July. The longest daylight is 13h 02m on Wednesday 1 July and Thursday 2 July and the shortest 12h 49m on Thursday 30 July and Friday 31 July.

That matters more than it sounds, because Rahu Kaal, Gulika and Yamaghanta are each one eighth of the interval from sunrise to sunset rather than fixed clock spans — so in Goa in July 2026 an eighth runs from 96 minutes to 98 minutes, and a table quoting a flat ninety minutes is wrong here by up to 8 minutes. Rahu Kaal on 1 July, a Wednesday, is 12:38-14:16 — the 5th of those eight parts, which is the one a Wednesday always takes.

Because the weekday chooses the part, Rahu Kaal’s position on the clock swings much further than sunrise does. Across July 2026 in Goa it begins as early as 07:47 on 6 July, a Monday, and as late as 17:32 on 12 July, a Sunday — 9h 45m apart, against a sunrise spread of only 9 minutes. There is no single “Rahu Kaal time” to memorise, here or anywhere.

Goa sits 3.38° west of New Delhi, which on longitude alone would put its sunrise 14 minutes later. Measured against the national table it actually runs from 35 minutes later to 41 minutes later across July 2026. It is a range rather than a constant because latitude bends the figure with the season while longitude only shifts it, and here that bend is worth 6 minutes across the month. On the worst day in the table below the national panchang’s Rahu Kaal begins 34 minutes from Goa’s. A national table would get Goa’s tithi right and every one of its times wrong.

Tithi, nakshatra, yoga and karana are the same everywhere in India and are read at sunrise from the same DE421 table the rest of the site uses — listed here for completeness, not because they differ by city: across these 31 sunrises the nakshatra takes 26 of its 27 values and the tithi 28 of its 30. In July 2026 Purnima falls on 29 July; Amavasya on 14 July; the single Ekadashi on 25 July.
