Frequently asked questions
What is Choghadiya?
Choghadiya is a Vedic time-keeping system, popular in Gujarat and Rajasthan, that splits the day and night into eight muhurtas each. Each period is ruled by a planet and named Amrit, Shubh, Labh, Char, Udveg, Kaal or Rog.
Which Choghadiya is best?
Amrit, Shubh and Labh are considered auspicious for starting new work, signing documents and buying. Char is good for travel. Udveg, Kaal and Rog are traditionally avoided for new beginnings.
Why are Choghadiya times different every day?
The periods are one-eighth of the actual day (sunrise to sunset) and night (sunset to next sunrise) at your location, so they shift with sunrise and sunset throughout the year.
Is Choghadiya the same as Rahu Kaal?
No. Rahu Kaal is a single inauspicious period each day. Choghadiya rates all sixteen periods of the day and night.
