How Choghadiya works

Sunrise to sunset and sunset to the next sunrise are each divided into eight equal Choghadiyas (about 1½ hours each). The sequence starts from the ruler of the weekday.

  • Amrit, Shubh and Labh — auspicious (Amrit is the best).
  • Char — neutral, good for travel.
  • Rog, Kaal and Udveg — avoided for new work.

Calculated from the Sun and Moon positions for your place with the Lahiri (Chitrapaksha) ayanamsa, in IST. Vrat and festival days follow the rules Drik Panchang uses; on our test set of 178 vrat dates and over 1,200 timings they match to the day, and times agree within a minute.

Frequently asked questions

Which Choghadiya is best?

Amrit is considered the best, followed by Shubh and Labh. Char is good for travel. Rog, Kaal and Udveg are avoided for beginnings.

Should I check Rahu Kalam as well?

Many people do. A good Choghadiya that overlaps Rahu Kalam is usually skipped for important beginnings.

Why is Choghadiya different in another city?

Each Choghadiya is a fraction of local daylight or night, so it moves with your city’s sunrise and sunset.
