Today's Daytime and Nighttime Choghadiya
Check today's Choghadiya timings to identify auspicious and inauspicious periods for important activities, travel, business, religious ceremonies and daily work.
What is Choghadiya?
Choghadiya Muhurat is a traditional Vedic time-keeping system used to identify favorable and unfavorable periods during the day and night. The word Choghadiya is associated with the division of time into specific periods, each carrying a particular quality according to traditional Vedic astrology.
The daytime period between sunrise and sunset is divided into eight approximately equal segments, while the nighttime period between sunset and the following sunrise is also divided into eight segments. Thus, a complete day contains 16 Choghadiya periods.
Each period is traditionally classified as Amrit, Shubh, Labh, Chal, Kaal, Rog or Udveg. Among these, Amrit, Shubh and Labh are generally regarded as highly favorable, while Kaal, Rog and Udveg are generally considered less favorable. Chal can be suitable for certain activities, particularly travel and movement.
Today's Choghadiya Timings
Today's Choghadiya timings are calculated according to the local sunrise and sunset of the selected location. Since sunrise and sunset vary from one city to another, Choghadiya timings are location-specific and may differ even on the same date.
Use the daytime and nighttime Choghadiya tables above to find the periods that are traditionally considered favorable for starting important activities. For more specific occasions, Choghadiya should ideally be considered along with other Panchang elements such as Tithi, Nakshatra, Yoga, Karana and Rahu Kaal.

Daytime and Nighttime Choghadiya
Choghadiya is divided into two major sections: Day Choghadiya and Night Choghadiya.
The eight daytime Choghadiyas are calculated from local sunrise to sunset. The eight nighttime Choghadiyas are calculated from local sunset to the next day's sunrise. Because the duration of daylight and nighttime changes throughout the year, the length of an individual Choghadiya can also vary from day to day.
This is why accurate Choghadiya should always be calculated for the specific date and location rather than relying on fixed clock timings.
आज का चौघड़िया
आज का चौघड़िया दिन के शुभ और अशुभ समय को समझने का एक सरल और पारंपरिक तरीका है। चौघड़िया पद्धति में सूर्योदय से सूर्यास्त के बीच के समय को आठ भागों में तथा सूर्यास्त से अगले सूर्योदय तक के रात्रिकालीन समय को भी आठ भागों में विभाजित किया जाता है।
अमृत, शुभ और लाभ चौघड़िया को सामान्यतः शुभ माना जाता है, जबकि काल, रोग और उद्वेग को सामान्यतः अशुभ माना जाता है। चल या चर चौघड़िया को विशेष रूप से यात्रा और गतिशील कार्यों के लिए उपयोगी माना जाता है।
आज का चौघड़िया यात्रा प्रारंभ करने, नया कार्य शुरू करने, व्यापारिक गतिविधियों, महत्वपूर्ण खरीदारी, पूजा-पाठ तथा अन्य दैनिक कार्यों के लिए उपयुक्त समय चुनने में सहायता कर सकता है।
चौघड़िया का समय स्थान के स्थानीय सूर्योदय और सूर्यास्त पर निर्भर करता है। इसलिए अलग-अलग शहरों में एक ही दिन के चौघड़िया समय अलग हो सकते हैं।
