About Choghadiya in Medina

Medina's Choghadiya is calculated from Medina's actual local sunrise (5:59 AM GMT+3 today) and sunset (6:44 PM GMT+3). Medina is 2h 30m behind IST. Today Medina has 12 hr 45 min of daylight. Each period shows both local Medina 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 Medina is Labh — 7:34 AM–9:10 AM GMT+3 (10:04 AM–11:40 AM IST).

Since all Choghadiya periods are anchored to sunrise, early risers may also note that today's morning golden hour in Medina runs 5:59 AM–6:29 AM (30 min) and evening golden hour 6:13 PM–6:44 PM (31 min) — the same sunrise that begins the first daytime Choghadiya.
