What is Choghadiya?

Choghadiya (from chau, four, and ghadi, a unit of about 24 minutes) is one of the simplest and most popular methods in Vedic timekeeping for finding an auspicious moment. Daylight, from sunrise to sunset, is divided into eight equal parts; the night, from sunset to the next sunrise, into eight more. Each of these sixteen periods carries a name and a nature.

The seven Choghadiya

Each period is governed by a planet and classed by its quality. Amrit, Shubh and Labh are auspicious; Char is neutral and good for travel; while Udveg, Kaal and Rog are best avoided for new undertakings.

  • Amrit: nectar; the most auspicious, ideal for all good work
  • Shubh: pure and auspicious; favoured for marriage and ceremony
  • Labh: gain and profit; excellent for business and learning
  • Char: movable; suited to travel and routine errands
  • Udveg, Kaal, Rog: reserved for ordinary or unavoidable tasks

Questions & Answers

Frequently asked

What is Choghadiya?

Choghadiya is a Vedic system that divides each day and night into eight muhurats of roughly 1.5 hours each. Every period is classed as auspicious (Amrit, Shubh, Labh), neutral (Char) or inauspicious (Udveg, Kaal, Rog), helping you choose when to begin important work.

Which Choghadiya is the most auspicious?

Amrit is considered the most auspicious, followed by Shubh and Labh. Char is neutral and good for travel. For ceremonies and major decisions, prefer Amrit, Shubh or Labh and avoid Udveg, Kaal and Rog.

Why do the timings differ from another website?

Choghadiya is calculated from local sunrise and sunset, which vary by city and date. Small differences between sources usually come from the exact coordinates and the sunrise model used. This tool computes sunrise/sunset for the city you select, in IST.

Can I see tomorrow’s Choghadiya, or another date?

Yes. Use the date arrows or the date picker to view the Choghadiya for tomorrow or any other day. The live "right now" highlight appears when you are viewing today.

Is Choghadiya enough to fix a puja muhurat?

Choghadiya gives a quick view of favourable windows, but a full muhurat also considers tithi, nakshatra, yoga and your personal horoscope. For weddings, griha pravesh and major pujas, please consult Pandit Ramkishan Joshi for a precise muhurat.
