Question 1

What is Choghadiya?

Accepted Answer

Choghadiya (also spelled Chaughadia) is a Vedic time-division system that splits each day and night into 8 periods of approximately 1.5 hours each. Each period is ruled by a specific planet and classified as Shubh (auspicious), Labh (profitable), Amrit (excellent), Char (average), Rog (inauspicious), Kaal (bad), or Udyog (suitable for work). It is widely used in Gujarat and Western India for timing daily activities.

Question 2

Which Choghadiya is best for travel?

Accepted Answer

For travel, the "Labh" (profitable, ruled by Mercury) and "Amrit" (excellent, ruled by Moon) Choghadiyas are considered the best. "Shubh" (auspicious, ruled by Jupiter) is also favourable. Avoid starting journeys during "Rog" (ruled by Mars) and "Kaal" (ruled by Saturn) periods. Our Choghadiya tool highlights the best travel windows for your location.

Question 3

How many Choghadiya periods are there in a day?

Accepted Answer

There are 16 Choghadiya periods in a full day  –  8 during daytime (sunrise to sunset) and 8 during nighttime (sunset to next sunrise). The duration of each period is not a fixed 1.5 hours; it varies by season because daytime and nighttime lengths change throughout the year. Dekho Panchang calculates exact Choghadiya times based on your location's actual sunrise and sunset.
