Goa was Portuguese from 1510 to 1961 — 451 years, over a century longer than the British were in India. It is why the state has a different legal code, different architecture and a civil law tradition that still applies today.
The clock: Panaji keeps UTC+5:30. Goa's Portuguese-era churches at Old Goa are a UNESCO site.
Panaji lies at 73.8°E. Its time zone, UTC+5:30, is built around the 82.5°E meridian. The 8.7° gap between them means the clock runs roughly 35 minutes ahead of the sun: solar noon arrives at about 12:35 rather than 12:00. The zone holds UTC+5:30 all year — there is no daylight saving here.
The longest day of 2026 is 22 June, with 13h 3m of daylight. The shortest is 22 December, with 11h 12m. The swing between them is 1h 51m. Inside the tropics the day length stays within a narrow band all year.
The earliest sunrise and the latest sunset do not land on the longest day. In Panaji the sun comes up earliest on 4 June at 06:03, while the latest sunset waits until 10 July at 19:10. The equation of time is what separates them: the Earth's elliptical orbit and axial tilt move solar noon back and forth by several minutes over the year.
The sky stays usably light for a while after the sun goes down. In Panaji that civil twilight runs about 21 minutes at the equinox.
