What is Choghadiya?
Choghadiya divides the day (sunrise to sunset) and night into 8 segments each, classified as auspicious (Amrit, Shubh, Labh), neutral (Char), or to be avoided (Rog, Kaal, Udveg). The sequence depends on the weekday and is anchored to Varanasi’s precise sunrise and sunset — which is why timings differ by city.
