What is Choghadiya and How Does It Work?

Discover the ancient Vedic time division system that helps you choose the most auspicious moments for your activities.

Choghadiya is a sophisticated Vedic time division system that has been used for over 3,000 years to determine auspicious and inauspicious periods during the day. The word comes from "Chau" (four) and "Ghadi" (a unit of time equal to 24 minutes).

How It Works

Each day is divided into 16 Choghadiya periods:

• •8 daytime periods from sunrise to sunset
• •8 nighttime periods from sunset to sunrise

Each period lasts approximately 90 minutes, though the exact duration varies based on the length of day and night at your location.

The Science Behind It

Choghadiya is calculated based on:

1. •Precise sunrise and sunset times for your location
2. •Planetary rulers for each day of the week
3. •Natural energy cycles recognized in Vedic texts

Practical Applications

People use Choghadiya for:

• •Starting new businesses or ventures
• •Making important purchases
• •Scheduling surgeries or medical procedures
• •Planning travel
• •Conducting religious ceremonies
• •Signing contracts and agreements

This system has stood the test of time because it aligns human activities with natural cosmic rhythms, leading to more favorable outcomes.
