Frequently asked
What is Choghadiya?
Choghadiya (“four ghaṭikās”) divides the daytime and the night each into eight slots of roughly 90 minutes. Every slot carries a quality — Amrit, Shubh, Labh and Char are auspicious; Rog, Kaal and Udveg are inauspicious — used to pick or avoid a moment for an activity.
Which Choghadiya periods are good today?
Good (auspicious) Choghadiya slots are Amrit, Shubh, Labh and Char. Today in Houston, USA, the day’s good slots begin with Char. Rog, Kaal and Udveg are best avoided for new beginnings.
What are Vaar Vela and Kaal Rātri?
The day’s Kaal slot is marked Vaar Vela and the night’s Kaal slot is Kaal Rātri — the especially sensitive Choghadiya windows on that weekday, traditionally avoided for important starts.
How is Choghadiya calculated?
The daytime (sunrise→sunset) and night (sunset→next sunrise) are each split into eight equal parts. The sequence of qualities rotates from the weekday lord, so the clock times move daily with the length of day and night. These pages use local sunrise/sunset for the city.
