As per Vedic Astrology, it is advisable to perform necessary prayers, on a particular time phase of the day to get maximum benefits of health, wealth and prosperity. One can get the appropriate time of Muhurta (Auspicious Occasion) from the Panchang.

Types of Choghadiya

There are totally seven types of Choghdiya. • Amrut, Shubh and Labh are considered the Best Choghadiya's (Time Period) • Chal is considered as Good Choghadiyu (Time Period) • Udveg, Kal and Rog is considered inauspicious

How is it Calculated ?

Each day is divided into two time periods: Daytime - the period from sunrise to sunset Nighttime - the period from sunset to sunrise.

Each period contains eight Choghadiya's. The daytime difference is arrived at by calculating the difference between Sunrise and Sunset and dividing the same by 8.

Example

Example - Day 1: Sunrise at 6:00 AM and Sunset at 6:01 pm Day 2: Sunrise at 6:00 am

based on the above The daytime period is 12 hours and 01 minutes (721 minutes). The nighttime period is 11 hours and 59 minutes (719 minutes).

Therefore, each daytime Choghadiya lasts 721/8 = 90.125 minutes = 1 hour 30 minutes 7.5 seconds And each night-time Choghadiya last 736/8 = 92 minutes = 1 hour 29 minutes 52.5 second
