Your own scores are free, above. The rule behind each one, the exceptions, and the dated windows are in the full report.
Choghadiya means four ghadis. A ghadi is an old Indian unit of about twenty-four minutes, so four of them come to roughly ninety - and that is the length of one choghadiya, give or take, depending on the season.
The daylight period divides into eight of them. The night divides into eight more. Sixteen in all, covering the whole day from one sunrise to the next.
Most choghadiya pages give you eight and stop. They compute the daytime half and say nothing about the night, which means you have been handed half a scheme without being told. The night sequence is genuinely different - it does not simply continue from where the day ended - and we come to that below.
Each part carries one of seven names, and each name belongs to a planet:
Now look at that list again and notice something. The three favourable ones belong to the Moon, Jupiter and Mercury. The three unfavourable ones belong to Saturn, the Sun and Mars. Venus, the remaining benefic, sits in the neutral position.
That is exactly the classical benefic and malefic division used everywhere else in this system. Choghadiya is not a separate scheme with its own logic - it is the standard planetary classification applied to the clock. Once you see that, the names stop being arbitrary and the whole thing becomes easy to remember.
The first choghadiya of any day belongs to the planet that rules that weekday. Sunday is the Sun's day, so Sunday opens with Udveg. Monday is the Moon's, so Monday opens with Amrit. Tuesday is Mars's and opens with Rog; Wednesday is Mercury's and opens with Labh; Thursday is Jupiter's and opens with Shubh; Friday is Venus's and opens with Char; Saturday is Saturn's and opens with Kaal.
From there the seven names run in a fixed cycle: Udveg, Char, Labh, Amrit, Kaal, Shubh, Rog, and back to Udveg.
Eight parts through seven names means the first name comes round again at the end - which is why the sequence can look uneven if you only glance at it. It is not uneven; it is seven repeating into eight slots.
Here is the part almost nothing online gets right, because almost nothing online computes it.
The night sequence does not pick up where the day left off. It starts from the fifth planet counted from the day's opening planet in the weekday order. So Sunday's night begins with Shubh (Jupiter), Monday's with Char (Venus), Tuesday's with Kaal (Saturn), and so on.
This is a classical rule, it is in the almanacs, and it is the reason a page that simply continues the day cycle into the night gives wrong answers for every night part. If you have ever compared two choghadiya sites and found the daytime matching but the night differing, this is usually why.
About ninety minutes - but that is an average and the variation is larger than people expect.
A day choghadiya is one eighth of daylight. In Delhi, daylight runs about ten hours twenty in late December and about fourteen hours in late June. So a day choghadiya swings from roughly seventy-seven minutes to one hundred and five across the year. And because day and night are complementary, the night parts swing the opposite way at the same time - long in winter, short in summer.
Two choghadiya on the same date can therefore be very different lengths depending on whether they fall in the day or the night half. A page quoting a flat ninety minutes has not computed anything.
It is a convention about beginnings. The tradition suggests starting things in Amrit, Shubh or Labh, treating Char as acceptable especially for travel, and avoiding Udveg, Kaal and Rog for new undertakings.
It is used constantly in practice - for setting out on a journey, opening a shop, signing something, making a call that matters. It is popular precisely because it is quick: you need no chart and no birth details, only the date, the place and the clock.
Which brings us to the honest limit.
Choghadiya uses no birth details at all. Not your date of birth, not your chart, nothing personal. Every person in your city has the same choghadiya on the same day.
That makes it a reasonable general convention and a poor personal reading. It is useful for a small decision when you have nothing better to go on. It is not a substitute for a muhurat chosen for a specific purpose against a specific chart - and the classical writers never treat it as one.
Kaal choghadiya is Saturn's, and Saturn in this tradition is read for delay rather than harm. Rog is Mars's, read for friction. Neither carries the weight of a catastrophe, and nothing in the sources says an ongoing task is affected by the clock turning over. The convention is about starts.
We give you all sixteen parts, their rulers, their timings and the rule that produced them. What you do with a ninety-minute window is yours to decide.
Day and night, each part with its start, end, name and ruling planet, plus the arithmetic that produced every boundary from your own sunrise and sunset.
Which planet starts each day and therefore which name the first choghadiya carries, printed for all seven days so any date can be worked out without coming back.
The fifth planet from the day's opener, not a continuation of the day cycle. A classical rule, almost never explained, and the reason night timings differ between sites.
Moon, Jupiter and Mercury favourable; Saturn, Sun and Mars not; Venus neutral. The same classification used everywhere else in this system, applied to the clock.
Day parts run from about seventy-seven minutes to one hundred and five across a year in Delhi, and the night parts swing the opposite way at the same time.
Coarser than a hora, simpler than a muhurat, and using no birth details. Knowing which kind of tool it is settles most questions about how much weight to give it.
A convention about beginnings, with Kaal read for delay and Rog for friction. Set against the modern habit of treating a ninety-minute window as a hazard.

This choghadiya calculator by city answers the six questions people search most — shubh choghadiya today by location, choghadiya meaning amrit shubh labh, night choghadiya today, choghadiya for travel, choghadiya kaise dekhe — each with the rule behind it. The choghadiya calculator by city above computes your own result free; the sections below explain what it means, and a choghadiya calculator by city that shows its working is one you can check against any astrologer.
A choghadiya calculator by city divides the time from sunrise to sunset into eight equal slots and the night into eight more, each roughly ninety minutes but varying with the season and place, and names each slot by a fixed weekday sequence: Sunday's day begins with Udveg, Monday's with Amrit, Tuesday's with Rog, Wednesday's with Labh, Thursday's with Shubh, Friday's with Char, Saturday's with Kaal. This choghadiya calculator by city uses your coordinates' sunrise and sunset, so the slots are right for your town rather than for a printed Delhi table.
Shubh choghadiya today by location means the slots named Amrit, Shubh, Labh and Char — the four favourable ones of the seven names. Amrit (nectar) and Shubh (auspicious) are used for any beginning; Labh (gain) for business and money; Char (moving) for travel. Udveg (anxiety), Rog (disease) and Kaal (death) are avoided for starts. Shubh choghadiya today by location on this page is highlighted in the day's table with its start and end minutes, and the current slot marked live.
Choghadiya meaning amrit shubh labh comes from the weekday lords: each slot is ruled by a planet in the fixed order Sun, Venus, Mercury, Moon, Saturn, Jupiter, Mars, and the name follows the planet's nature — Amrit is the Moon's slot, Shubh Jupiter's, Labh Mercury's, Char Venus's, Udveg the Sun's, Rog Mars's, Kaal Saturn's. Choghadiya meaning amrit shubh labh on this page is printed beside each slot with its planet, because knowing the lord tells you what the slot is for.
Night choghadiya today runs from sunset to the next sunrise in eight slots, with its own starting name by weekday: Sunday night begins with Shubh, Monday with Char, Tuesday with Kaal, Wednesday with Udveg, Thursday with Amrit, Friday with Rog, Saturday with Labh. Night slots are used for journeys, late ceremonies and online work that starts after dark. Night choghadiya today on this page is printed as a second table below the day's, with the same colour coding and the live marker.
Choghadiya for travel prefers Char (the moving slot) first, then Labh and Amrit; the older texts add a direction rule — disha shool — where certain directions are avoided on certain weekdays (east on Monday and Saturday, north on Tuesday and Wednesday, south on Thursday, west on Friday and Sunday). Choghadiya for travel on this page marks the Char slots and prints the day's disha shool, so a journey can be started in a good slot and, where possible, not into the day's forbidden direction.
Choghadiya kaise dekhe by hand: know the weekday, take the sunrise, divide the day length by eight, and read the slot names in the weekday's fixed order. Choghadiya kaise dekhe on this page is the table above for your city — day and night, the current slot highlighted, the good slots in green — with tomorrow available, because the practical use is picking the next good ninety minutes for a call, a signing or a departure.
If you came to this choghadiya calculator by city to check a result from another app, compare the degree, not just the sign — two tools using different ayanamsas will disagree by about a sign near boundaries. This choghadiya calculator by city prints Lahiri, the value used, and every intermediate step, so the choghadiya calculator by city result can be verified line by line.
