About Choghadiya in Abu Dhabi
Abu Dhabi's Choghadiya is calculated from Abu Dhabi's actual local sunrise (6:00 AM GMT+4 today) and sunset (6:45 PM GMT+4). Abu Dhabi is 1h 30m behind IST. Today Abu Dhabi has 12 hr 45 min of daylight. Each period shows both local Abu Dhabi time and its IST equivalent, so you can coordinate auspicious timing with family in India.
Choghadiya has 8 daytime and 8 nighttime periods. Amrit (best), Shubh, and Labh (good) are ideal for ceremonies, travel, and new ventures. Udveg, Kaal, Rog are inauspicious.
Today's first recommended window in Abu Dhabi is Labh — 7:35 AM–9:11 AM GMT+4 (9:05 AM–10:41 AM IST).
