What this calculator does
Choghadiya is the simplest muhurta system: it divides the daylight and the night into eight parts each, names them from a cycle of seven, and reads the names as favourable, neutral or to be avoided. This calculator finds sunrise, sunset and the next sunrise for your place and date, lays out the sixteen parts with exact times, and marks the one running now.
How is the choghadiya calculated?
- Find sunrise and sunset for the date, and the next sunrise.
- Divide sunrise to sunset into eight equal parts, and sunset to the next sunrise into eight.
- The day parts start from Udveg on Sunday, Amrit on Monday, Rog on Tuesday, Labh on Wednesday, Shubh on Thursday, Chal on Friday and Kaal on Saturday, then follow the cycle Udveg, Chal, Labh, Amrit, Kaal, Shubh, Rog.
- The night parts start from Shubh on Sunday, Chal on Monday, Kaal on Tuesday, Udveg on Wednesday, Amrit on Thursday, Rog on Friday and Labh on Saturday.
