Day & night auspicious time periods for Chennai.
Choghadiya (चौघड़िया, also spelled Chaughadia) is a Vedic time-division system from Jyotish Shastra that divides each day and night into 8 equal periods. Each period is approximately 1.5 hours and is ruled by a specific planet, making it auspicious or inauspicious for various activities.
The system is especially popular in Gujarat, Rajasthan, and Maharashtra for determining the right time for travel, business transactions, and important decisions without consulting a detailed Panchang.
Choghadiya (Chaughadia) is a Vedic time-division system that splits each day and night into 8 periods of approximately 1.5 hours each. Each period is named (Udveg, Char, Labh, Amrit, Kaal, Shubh, Rog) and classified as auspicious, inauspicious, or neutral based on planetary rulers.
Shubh means auspicious. Shubh Choghadiya is one of the three good periods (along with Labh and Amrit). It is suitable for important tasks, travel, business meetings, and starting new ventures.
Labh and Shubh Choghadiya are best for travel. Amrit is the most auspicious but occurs less frequently. Avoid travelling during Rog (illness), Kaal (death), and Udveg (anxiety) periods.
Day Choghadiya periods are calculated by dividing the time from local sunrise to sunset into 8 equal parts. Night Choghadiya divides sunset to next sunrise into 8 equal parts. The sequence depends on the weekday.
