Frequently Asked Questions

What is Choghadiya?

Choghadiya (चौघड़िया) literally means 'four ghadi' — a unit of about 24 minutes. The day is divided into 8 periods of approximately 1.5 hours each, and separately the night is also divided into 8 periods.

Which Choghadiya is best for travel?

Amrit and Shubh Choghadiya are traditionally best for travel. Char is also considered good for travel specifically. Avoid Rog, Kaal and Udveg for any new ventures.

How does the starting Choghadiya change each day?

Each weekday starts with a different Choghadiya: Sunday→Udveg, Monday→Amrit, Tuesday→Rog, Wednesday→Labh, Thursday→Shubh, Friday→Char, Saturday→Kaal.

What is Brahma Muhurta?

Brahma Muhurta is the 48-minute window from sunrise−96min to sunrise−48min. It is the most sacred time for prayers, study and meditation in Hindu tradition.

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.
