Common questions
What is Choghadiya?
Choghadiya divides daylight and night, each into 8 unequal periods, based on sunrise and sunset — each period is labelled auspicious or inauspicious and repeats in a fixed weekday-dependent sequence.
Which Choghadiya is best for starting something new?
Amrit and Shubh are the two strongest auspicious periods, followed by Labh (for money matters) and Char (for travel).
Does Choghadiya replace a proper Muhurat?
No — Choghadiya is a quick daily filter. For anything significant (marriage, griha pravesh, a major purchase), a full Muhurat check against your own chart is more precise.
