What is Choghadiya?

Choghadiya divides daylight into eight equal windows and the night into eight more, each with a traditional name and timing label.

Day windows run from sunrise to sunset. Night windows run from sunset to next sunrise. If daylight lasts 12 hours, each day window lasts 90 minutes; changing day and night lengths change their respective windows.

The seven names

The dashboard uses these classifications:

Name	Label
Amrit (अमृत)	Good
Shubh (शुभ)	Good
Labh (लाभ)	Good
Char (चर)	Neutral
Udveg (उद्वेग)	Avoid
Kaal (काल)	Avoid
Rog (रोग)	Avoid

Seven names fill eight windows, so a name repeats. The weekday sets the first name; day and night follow different sequences. A night list cannot be obtained simply by continuing the daytime order.

Read the table and timeline together

The dashboard separates Day and Night lists. The strip above them uses the same colour labels and spans sunrise to next sunrise. Tapping a strip segment jumps to its corresponding row. On today's view, the active row is highlighted.

Night times continue past midnight. A range such as 22:39-00:10 ends on the following calendar date in city time.

Why Good can appear beside Avoid

For Delhi on 2 October 2026, Labh, 07:43-09:12, is labelled Good. Gulika occupies the same interval, so the row has a G badge and Now would read Avoid during it.

R, Y and G mark overlaps with Rahu Kaal, Yamaganda and Gulika. The Choghadiya label is one layer; the Now verdict combines several layers in a fixed order.
