Charleston's Choghadiya is calculated from Charleston's actual local sunrise (6:48 AM EDT today) and sunset (7:50 PM EDT). Charleston is 9h 30m behind IST. Today Charleston has 13 hr 2 min of daylight. Each period shows both local Charleston 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.
