What is Choghadiya?

Choghadiya (चौघड़िया) is a traditional Vedic astrological system that divides both day (sunrise to sunset) and night (sunset to next sunrise) into eight equal time periods. Each period, called a 'Choghadiya,' is assigned specific qualities based on planetary influences, helping determine auspicious and inauspicious times for various activities. This ancient timing system is especially popular in North India and Gujarat for planning daily activities, business ventures, and ceremonial events.

How to Use Choghadiya

Select auspicious Choghadiyas (Amrit, Shubh, Labh) for starting important activities like business ventures, ceremonies, or significant purchases. Avoid inauspicious periods (Udveg, Kaal, Rog) for crucial tasks. Chal is neutral and suitable for routine work and travel.

• •Amrit (अमृत): Most auspicious time, like nectar. Best for all important activities, ceremonies, and new beginnings.
• •Shubh (शुभ): Highly auspicious time. Excellent for religious activities, meetings, and positive ventures.
