About Choghadiya in Kandy
Kandy's Choghadiya is calculated from Kandy's actual local sunrise (5:58 AM GMT+5:30 today) and sunset (6:16 PM GMT+5:30). Kandy is same timezone as IST. Today Kandy has 12 hr 18 min of daylight. Each period shows both local Kandy 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 Kandy is Labh — 7:30 AM–9:02 AM GMT+5:30 (7:30 AM–9:02 AM IST).
Since all Choghadiya periods are anchored to sunrise, early risers may also note that today's morning golden hour in Kandy runs 5:58 AM–6:26 AM (28 min) and evening golden hour 5:48 PM–6:16 PM (28 min) — the same sunrise that begins the first daytime Choghadiya.
