About Choghadiya

Choghadiya (also spelled Chaughadia or Chogadia) is a Vedic muhurat system derived from Chatur Ghadi — four Ghatis (each Ghati = 24 minutes). The system divides daylight into 8 equal segments, each approximately 90 minutes long, based on local sunrise and sunset times.

The seven Choghadiya types cycle in a fixed pattern based on the day's ruling planet. Amrit (nectar) is universally auspicious; Shubh (auspicious) and Labh (gain) are good; Char (movement) suits travel; Udveg (anxiety), Kaal (time of death), and Rog (illness) are avoided for important beginnings.
