The seven choghadiya and what they mean
- Udveg · Avoid
- Udveg Choghadiya is ruled by the Sun and is considered inauspicious. Udveg means anxiety, so new work is avoided, though tradition holds it suitable for government work or meeting officials.
- Char · Neutral
- Char Choghadiya is ruled by Venus (Shukra) and is treated as neutral. Char means moving, so it is considered fine for travel, buying vehicles and work that involves movement.
- Labh · Good
- Labh Choghadiya is ruled by Mercury (Budh) and is a good period. As its name, meaning profit, suggests, it is favoured for business, trade, study and learning new skills.
- Amrit · Good
- Amrit Choghadiya is ruled by the Moon and is considered the most auspicious period of all. It is excellent for worship, new beginnings, travel, shopping or starting any good work.
- Kaal · Avoid
- Kaal Choghadiya is ruled by Saturn (Shani) and is considered inauspicious. Auspicious ceremonies, travel, money dealings and any new beginning are best avoided during this period.
- Shubh · Good
- Shubh Choghadiya is ruled by Jupiter (Guru) and counts as a good period. It suits weddings, prayers, religious ceremonies, starting education and other auspicious family events.
- Rog · Avoid
- Rog Choghadiya is ruled by Mars (Mangal) and is considered inauspicious, so new work is avoided. By tradition, it may be used for starting treatment of an illness or for handling disputes.

When is the good choghadiya today?
Today, Tuesday 3 November 2026, the daytime windows in Delhi suitable for a new beginning are Labh (10:42 AM – 12:05 PM), Amrit (12:05 PM – 1:27 PM). Shubh falls entirely in rahu kaal (2:50 PM – 4:12 PM), so it is not counted for new beginnings. At night, Labh (7:12 PM – 8:50 PM), Shubh (10:27 PM – 12:05 AM, 4 Nov), Amrit (12:05 AM, 4 Nov – 1:42 AM, 4 Nov) are good.
How is choghadiya calculated?
The day from sunrise to sunset and the night from sunset to the next sunrise are each split into eight equal parts. Each part carries one of seven names, and the weekday decides where the sequence starts: Sunday's day begins with Udveg, Monday's with Amrit, and so on.
Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between Amrit, Shubh and Labh?
All three are good. Amrit (the Moon) suits every kind of auspicious work, Shubh (Jupiter) suits worship, marriage talks and study, and Labh (Mercury) is considered good for business, purchases and beginning new studies.
Can I travel in Char choghadiya?
Yes. Char is ruled by Venus and counts as neutral. Work involving movement, such as setting out on a journey or anything to do with vehicles, is considered fine in Char. For major auspicious work, Amrit, Shubh or Labh are better.
What should I do in Rog, Kaal and Udveg?
New auspicious work is avoided in all three. Tradition does treat Rog as fine for fighting illness or disputes and Udveg for government work, but most people simply do not begin anything new in these windows.
What if rahu kaal falls inside a good choghadiya?
When rahu kaal overlaps a good choghadiya, most families skip the overlapping part. The timeline above shows rahu kaal as a red striped band so you can see both together and pick a clean window.
