About Choghadiya in Washington
Washington's Choghadiya is calculated from Washington's actual local sunrise (6:29 AM EDT today) and sunset (7:46 PM EDT). Washington is 9h 30m behind IST. Today Washington has 13 hr 17 min of daylight. Each period shows both local Washington 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 Washington is Labh — 8:08 AM–9:48 AM EDT (5:38 PM–7:18 PM IST).
Since all Choghadiya periods are anchored to sunrise, early risers may also note that today's morning golden hour in Washington runs 6:29 AM–7:05 AM (36 min) and evening golden hour 7:10 PM–7:46 PM (36 min) — the same sunrise that begins the first daytime Choghadiya.
