What is choghadiya?
Choghadiya (from cho — four, ghadi — the ~24-minute ghati) is the classical Vedic day-planner: daylight and night are each divided into eight parts of roughly 90 minutes, and every part carries one of seven rotating names with a fixed verdict:
- ◆ Amrit — nectar; the best slot, good for any beginning.
- ✓ Shubha — auspicious; good for ceremonies and new work.
- ✓ Laabha — gain; good for business and purchases.
- ✓ Chara — movement; good, especially for journeys.
- ✕ Rog — disease; avoid beginnings.
- ✕ Kaala — death; avoid beginnings.
- ✕ Udveg — anxiety; avoid beginnings.
Because the parts are measured from local sunrise and sunset, the clock times are different in every city and drift a little every day — the tables above are computed fresh from Jodhpur's coordinates (26.2684°N, 73.0059°E).

Frequently asked questions
Which choghadiya is good today in Jodhpur?
The strongest slots today are the Amrit choghadiyas: 11:04 AM – 12:43 PM by day and 8:39 PM – 10:00 PM by night (IST). Shubha, Laabha and Chara are also favourable. Avoid starting important work in Rog, Kaala and Udveg — the table above labels all 16 slots.
What is choghadiya?
Choghadiya is the classical day-planner of Vedic astrology: the time from sunrise to sunset is divided into eight equal parts, and sunset-to-sunrise into another eight. Each part — roughly 90 minutes — carries one of seven recurring names (Amrit, Shubha, Laabha, Chara, Rog, Kaala, Udveg) with a fixed quality: Amrit is best, Shubha/Laabha/Chara good, and Rog/Kaala/Udveg to be avoided for new undertakings.
Which choghadiyas are auspicious?
Amrit (nectar) is the strongest — classically good for any beginning. Shubha (auspicious), Laabha (gain) and Chara (movement — especially journeys) are good. Rog (disease), Kaala (death) and Udveg (anxiety) are the three to avoid for beginnings, though routine work continues regardless.
Is choghadiya the same every day in Jodhpur?
No. The sequence of names rotates with the weekday — each weekday's day and night cycles start from a different point of the seven-name cycle — and the slot boundaries move with Jodhpur's sunrise and sunset. That is why a fixed printed table drifts out of date; the week table above is computed from Jodhpur's own data.
What is the difference between day and night choghadiya?
Day choghadiya divides sunrise-to-sunset into eight parts; night choghadiya divides sunset-to-next-sunrise into eight, with its own starting point in the cycle. Night slots near midnight belong to the evening they follow — tonight's last slots run into early tomorrow morning, as shown in the table.
