Frequently Asked Questions
What is today's auspicious Choghadiya in Amritsar?
Today's auspicious Choghadiya slots in Amritsar are Amrit (most auspicious), Shubh (auspicious), Labh (gainful), and Char (good for travel). The exact times depend on today's Sunrise and Sunset at Amritsar, Punjab (31.634°N, 74.8723°E) and are shown in the table above.
What is Choghadiya?
Choghadiya (from Chaar Ghadi, meaning "four ghadi") is a Vedic muhurta system that divides each day and night into 8 equal time slots. Each slot is ruled by a planet and classified as auspicious (Amrit, Shubh, Labh, Char) or inauspicious (Rog, Kaal, Udveg). Choghadiya is widely used to choose the right moment for starting new work, travel, business, and important tasks.
How is Amritsar Choghadiya calculated?
Amritsar Choghadiya is calculated by dividing the day (Sunrise to Sunset) and night (Sunset to next Sunrise) into 8 equal parts. Sunrise and Sunset are computed using Swiss Ephemeris with standard atmospheric refraction for Amritsar, Punjab (31.634°N, 74.8723°E, timezone Asia/Kolkata). The planetary ruler of each slot follows a fixed sequence determined by the weekday (Vara).
Which Choghadiya is best for starting work?
Amrit Choghadiya is considered the most auspicious for any important task. Shubh is ideal for religious and social work. Labh is best for business and financial matters. Char is suitable for travel and movement. Rog, Kaal, and Udveg are generally inauspicious and should be avoided for new beginnings.
Does Choghadiya change every day?
Yes. While the sequence of Choghadiya slots repeats based on the weekday (Vara), the exact clock times change every day because they are based on the actual Sunrise and Sunset for Amritsar, which shifts throughout the year.
