All times are local.
Each band takes its name and its planet from a fixed order. This is what each one is traditionally used for.
Nectar. Good for every kind of work.
Auspicious. Ceremonies, marriage talks and learning.
Gain. Trade, new accounts and study.
Moving. Travel and journeys.
Unrest. Keep new starts away; official work only.
Illness. Keep new starts away.
Loss. Keep new starts away.
Local sunrise changes the exact windows. Choose another city for its own reading.
The time from sunrise to sunset is split into eight equal bands, and the time from sunset to the next sunrise into eight more. Each band is close to four ghatis long, which gives the system its name: chau-ghadiya, four ghatis.
The first band of the day belongs to the weekday’s own planet, and the rest follow a fixed order: Udveg of the Sun, Char of Venus, Labh of Mercury, Amrit of the Moon, Kaal of Saturn, Shubh of Jupiter and Rog of Mars.
Choghadiya is the everyday muhurta of Gujarat, Rajasthan and Maharashtra, used for opening a shop or new accounts, setting out on a journey and fixing small ceremonies when a full muhurta is not needed.
One of 100 Indian cities, each from its own sunrise and sunset.
Day bands run from sunrise, night bands from sunset.
Good, travel or avoid, with the planet that rules it.
Choose Amrit, Shubh or Labh for a new start.
What the bands mean, and how to use them.
Choghadiya is a Vedic way of dividing the day and the night into eight bands each, every band ruled by a planet and named for its nature. It is used to choose a good hour for travel, trade or a small ceremony.
Amrit, Shubh and Labh are the three counted good for beginning work. Char is good for travel and movement. Udveg, Rog and Kaal are avoided for new starts.
One-eighth of the day or of the night. On a 12-hour day that is 90 minutes; in summer the day bands are longer and the night bands shorter, and the reverse in winter.
No. Rahu Kaal is one window each day to keep free. Choghadiya grades every part of the day and the night. Many families check both before they begin something.
The bands are measured from your city’s own sunrise and sunset, so the clock times change from place to place and from day to day.
For a marriage or a griha pravesh, families usually fix a full muhurta from the Panchang. Choghadiya is the quick guide for everyday starts such as travel, a purchase or opening accounts.
Choghadiya is the same for everyone in a city. Your kundli shows the periods that belong to you. Making it is free.
