About Choghadiya in Columbia
Columbia's Choghadiya is calculated from Columbia's actual local sunrise (6:51 AM EDT today) and sunset (7:55 PM EDT). Columbia is 9h 30m behind IST. Today Columbia has 13 hr 4 min of daylight. Each period shows both local Columbia 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 Columbia is Labh — 8:29 AM–10:07 AM EDT (5:59 PM–7:37 PM IST).
