North Indian Panchang uses the Choghadiya system to divide each day and night into 8 equal periods. Each Choghadiya period has a name and auspicious quality: Amrit and Shubh are most auspicious, Labh and Char are beneficial, while Udveg, Rog and Kaal are inauspicious. The cycle restarts with a different starting point each weekday.
