Today's Choghadiya
The eight day and night windows — which times are auspicious, which to avoid.
The Eight Windows
Choghadiya is the everyday muhurat — a quick read of which parts of today favour action and which do not. Each window runs about ninety minutes and carries a planet's temperament. Because the windows are slices of real daylight, they shift with your city's sunrise, which is why this tool asks where you are. Use Amrit, Shubh, Labh and Char for good beginnings and step around Rog, Kaal and Udveg.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is Choghadiya?
Choghadiya divides the day and night into eight windows of about 90 minutes each, ruled by the planets. Each is marked auspicious or inauspicious, giving a quick, popular way to pick a good moment to start something without casting a full muhurat.
Which Choghadiya are good?
Amrit, Shubh, Labh and Char are the favourable windows — Amrit and Shubh are best for auspicious work, Labh for gains and learning, Char for travel. Rog, Kaal and Udveg are best avoided for new beginnings.
Does Choghadiya change by city?
Yes. Because each window is a fraction of the actual daylight, the timings shift with your city's sunrise and sunset. This tool computes them from real sunrise/sunset for the place you enter.
How is Choghadiya different from Rahu Kaal?
Rahu Kaal is a single inauspicious window each day. Choghadiya is the full sequence of eight labelled windows across day and night, so it tells you not just what to avoid but the best times to act.
