Choghadiya — Meaning & Today's Timing
Choghadiya is a popular system, especially in western and northern India, that divides daytime and night-time each into eight segments. Each segment is labelled — such as Amrit, Shubh and Labh (auspicious) or Rog, Kaal and Udveg (inauspicious) — and is used to choose favourable times for travel, business and everyday tasks. The segments depend on the weekday and local sunrise and sunset.
