Aaj Ka Choghadiya
Choghadiya is an ancient Hindu time-keeping method that divides the day and night into eight equal parts. The word comes from “Chau” (four) + “Ghadi” (time units), meaning four ghadi (96 minutes). It is widely used in India, Nepal, and among Hindus worldwide to find out the most auspicious time (Shubh Muhurat) for starting new work, travel, weddings, or business deals.
Types of Choghadiya
Each day is divided into 16 Choghadiyas — 8 in the daytime and 8 at night. They are categorized as:
- Amrit (Most Auspicious)
- Shubh (Auspicious)
- Labh (Profitable, Good for business)
- Chal (Neutral, okay for travel)
- Udveg (Inauspicious)
- Kaal (Inauspicious)
- Rog (Inauspicious, bad for health/work)
👉 Best Choghadiyas: Amrit, Shubh, Labh
