What is Choghadiya (Aaj Ka Choghadiya)?

Choghadiya (also called Aaj Ka Choghadiya or आज का चौघड़िया in Hindi) is a Vedic Hindu system that divides each day into 8 periods from sunrise to sunset (Day Choghadiya) and 8 periods from sunset to next sunrise (Night Choghadiya). Each period is ruled by a planet and classified as auspicious or inauspicious for different activities.

What is the auspicious time today?

The auspicious time today can be found by checking the Amrit, Shubh, and Labh Choghadiya periods. Amrit Choghadiya is the most auspicious time for any activity. Shubh is ideal for ceremonies and Labh is best for business dealings. Check our live Choghadiya calculator above for today's exact auspicious timings.

Which Choghadiya is best for starting new work?

Amrit Choghadiya is considered best for all activities. Shubh Choghadiya is ideal for ceremonies and marriages. Labh Choghadiya is perfect for business and financial activities.

What is today nakshatra and rashi?

Today's Nakshatra (lunar mansion) and Rashi (moon sign) can be checked on our Panchang page. Nakshatra changes approximately every day, while the moon stays in each Rashi for about 2.5 days. Both are important for determining auspicious activities alongside Choghadiya timings.

How is Choghadiya calculated?

Choghadiya is calculated by dividing daytime (sunrise to sunset) into 8 equal parts and nighttime (sunset to next sunrise) into 8 equal parts. The type of each period (Amrit, Shubh, Labh, Chal, Rog, Kaal, Udveg) depends on the weekday and follows a specific pattern based on the ruling planet of the day.

Choghadiya Today (Aaj Ka Choghadiya) - Complete Guide to Auspicious Time Today

What is Choghadiya (चौघड़िया)?

Choghadiya (also written as Chaughadia or Chogadia) is a Vedic Hindu system for finding auspicious timings (Shubh Muhurat). The word comes from "Cho" (four) + "Ghadiya" (Ghati), meaning "four Ghatis" as each Choghadiya period equals approximately 4 Ghatis or 96 minutes.

Each day is divided into 16 Choghadiyas - 8 during daytime (sunrise to sunset) and 8 during nighttime (sunset to next sunrise). The duration of each Choghadiya varies based on the length of day and night.
