The day is 11 hr 14 min long, so each choghadiya lasts about 1 hr 24 min.

Frequently asked questions
When are sunrise and sunset in Ranchi today?
In Ranchi today, sunrise is at 5:55 AM and sunset at 5:09 PM. Sunrise is 39 min earlier than Delhi and sunset 25 min earlier than Delhi, which is why rahu kaal and choghadiya also differ from Delhi.
When is the good choghadiya in Ranchi today?
For a new beginning today, the suitable daytime windows are Labh (10:08 AM – 11:32 AM), Amrit (11:32 AM – 12:56 PM). Shubh falls entirely in rahu kaal (2:21 PM – 3:45 PM), so that part is removed. Amrit, Shubh and Labh are good, Char is neutral, and new starts are avoided in Rog, Kaal and Udveg. Night windows are in the table.
When are yamaganda and gulika kaal in Ranchi today?
In Ranchi today, yamaganda is 8:44 AM – 10:08 AM and gulika kaal is 11:32 AM – 12:56 PM. Like rahu kaal, each is one of eight equal parts of daylight. Auspicious work is avoided in yamaganda, while work done in gulika is believed to repeat itself.
Why is Ranchi's rahu kaal different from Delhi's?
Rahu kaal is counted from local sunrise and sunset. Today Ranchi's sunrise is 39 min earlier than Delhi, because the city's longitude and latitude differ. The Sun rises earlier in eastern cities, so their rahu kaal comes earlier too.
