Frequently asked questions
What is choghadiya?
A way of dividing the day into eight periods (choghadiyas) from sunrise to sunset, each named after one of seven kinds: Amrit, Shubh and Labh are good for starting work, Char is good for travel, and Udveg, Rog and Kaal are best avoided. People use it to pick a time to begin something.
How long is a choghadiya?
One eighth of the time from sunrise to sunset, so about 90 minutes on a 12-hour day, longer in summer and shorter in winter. That's why the tool works it out from your own town's sunrise and sunset.
How is the order decided?
The first choghadiya of the day follows the weekday: Sunday Udveg, Monday Amrit, Tuesday Rog, Wednesday Labh, Thursday Shubh, Friday Char, Saturday Kaal. The rest follow the cycle Udveg, Char, Labh, Amrit, Kaal, Shubh, Rog.
Is the night choghadiya shown?
Not yet. The published tables we could check disagree on the order at night, so we only show the day periods, which all agree.
What is Abhijit muhurat?
The eighth of fifteen equal parts of the day, around midday, considered auspicious for most beginnings. It's shown with the choghadiya.
