What is Choghadiya?

Choghadiya is a simple Vedic system that divides the day (sunrise to sunset) and night (sunset to next sunrise) into eight parts each. Every part is ruled by a planet and marked as auspicious or inauspicious, giving you an at-a-glance guide to good and bad times without a full muhurat calculation.

The good and the ones to avoid

Good: Amrit (nectar), Shubh (auspicious) and Labh (gain). Neutral: Char — fine for travel and routine work. Avoid: Rog (illness), Kaal (loss) and Udveg (anxiety). Start important work in Amrit, Shubh or Labh, and avoid beginning anything new in Rog, Kaal or Udveg.

Why the times differ by city

Because Choghadiya is built from your local sunrise and sunset, the exact windows change with your city and date. That is why this tool asks for both — so the periods above are accurate for the place you choose.
