The 8 Choghadiya Types

• Amrit (अमृत) — Moon: Most auspicious. Best for healing, medical procedures, important meditation
• Shubh (शुभ) — Jupiter: Auspicious. Marriages, religious ceremonies, education, charitable work
• Labh (लाभ) — Mercury: Auspicious. Business deals, contracts, financial transactions
• Char (चर) — Venus: Neutral. Travel, social events, art
• Rog (रोग) — Mars: Inauspicious. Avoid new beginnings, important decisions
• Kaal (काल) — Saturn: Highly inauspicious. Avoid marriage, business start, signing documents
• Udveg (उद्वेग) — Sun: Inauspicious. Avoid important meetings, anxiety-inducing decisions

How Choghadiya Is Calculated

The time from sunrise to sunset is divided into 8 equal Day Choghadiya slots (~90 min each, varying with day length). Sunset to next sunrise is divided into 8 Night Choghadiya slots. The first Day Choghadiya varies by weekday — e.g., Sunday starts with Udveg, Monday with Amrit. Because sunrise/sunset times depend on latitude, longitude, and date, Choghadiya is calculated city-by-city. Select your city above for today's exact slots.

Choghadiya vs Rahu Kalam vs Abhijit Muhurta

• Choghadiya: 8 slots/day + 8 night = 16 total slots, general auspiciousness
• Rahu Kalam: A single ~90-min daily window to AVOID for new starts
• Yamagandam: Another inauspicious window (similar function to Rahu Kalam)
• Abhijit Muhurta: The single 48-minute window of MAXIMUM auspiciousness at solar noon

Best practice: First check Rahu Kalam (avoid), then check Choghadiya for your desired time, then if possible align with Abhijit Muhurta for the most important tasks. Visit your city page above for today's full timings.
