About Choghadiya in Raleigh
Raleigh's Choghadiya is calculated from Raleigh's actual local sunrise (6:40 AM EDT today) and sunset (7:48 PM EDT). Raleigh is 9h 30m behind IST. Today Raleigh has 13 hr 8 min of daylight. Each period shows both local Raleigh 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 Raleigh is Labh — 8:18 AM–9:57 AM EDT (5:48 PM–7:27 PM IST).
