Choghadiya is the Hindu time table that splits the day (sunrise to sunset) and the night (sunset to next sunrise) into eight equal slots of about 90 minutes each. Amrit, Shubh and Labh choghadiya are auspicious, Char is neutral and good for travel, and Udveg, Kaal and Rog are avoided for starting new work. Rahu Kaal is a separate inauspicious slot: one eighth of daytime, at a different part of the day for each weekday.
Today's table below is for Wednesday, 14 October 2026 in Indian Standard Time. Open a city for all 16 slots, Yamaganda, Gulika and Abhijit Muhurat.

Choghadiya is the Hindu time table that splits the day (sunrise to sunset) and the night (sunset to next sunrise) into eight equal slots of about 90 minutes each. Amrit, Shubh and Labh choghadiya are auspicious, Char is neutral and good for travel, and Udveg, Kaal and Rog are avoided for starting new work. Rahu Kaal is a separate inauspicious slot: one eighth of daytime, at a different part of the day for each weekday.
Amrit is the best (auspicious for all work), then Shubh (auspicious, good for ceremonies and worship) and Labh (auspicious, good for business and study). Char is neutral and traditionally chosen for travel. Udveg, Kaal and Rog are avoided for new beginnings.
Char is neutral (chal, moving). It is traditionally considered good for travel and for work that involves movement, and acceptable for routine work, but it is not chosen for major ceremonies when Amrit, Shubh or Labh is available.
Rahu Kaal is an inauspicious period of one eighth of daytime ruled by Rahu. With a 6 am sunrise and 6 pm sunset it falls at 07:30-09:00 on Monday, 15:00-16:30 Tuesday, 12:00-13:30 Wednesday, 13:30-15:00 Thursday, 10:30-12:00 Friday, 09:00-10:30 Saturday and 16:30-18:00 Sunday. The real clock time shifts with your city's sunrise and sunset, so open your city page for exact times.
Each slot is one eighth of the time between local sunrise and sunset, so cities with different sunrise times (for example Kolkata and Ahmedabad) have different choghadiya clock times on the same date.
