What Is Choghadiya and How It Works
Choghadiya (also spelled Choghariya or Choghadia) is an ancient Vedic time-keeping method used to find
auspicious
time segments throughout the day. Each day and night are divided into eight equal parts, each lasting about
1
hour and 30 minutes.
Each segment, or Choghadiya, is ruled by a specific planet that influences whether it is Shubh (good) or
Ashubh
(bad) for beginning work. This system helps people perform important tasks at the most favorable times —
when
planetary energy supports success.
History and Origin of Choghadiya in Vedic Astrology
The concept of Choghadiya originates from Jyotish Shastra, the Vedic science of time and astrology. Ancient
astrologers used planetary hours (Hora) to guide decisions. Over time, this evolved into a simpler system —
Choghadiya — which divided the day into eight parts for easy reference.

Planetary Rulership and Weekday Connection
Each weekday's Choghadiya is ruled by different planets, influencing its sequence and energy.
- Monday – Moon – Calm & emotional – Good for travel, family work
- Tuesday – Mars – Energetic – Avoid conflicts, prefer Laabh
- Wednesday – Mercury – Smart – Ideal for business or study

Difference Between Choghadiya, Rahu Kaal & Abhijit Muhurat
Choghadiya divides the day into eight time slots for daily muhurat.
Rahu Kaal is a fixed inauspicious period each day, while Abhijit Muhurat is a short auspicious
window near noon.

How Choghadiya Is Calculated
Choghadiya is calculated by dividing sunrise-to-sunset and sunset-to-sunrise durations into eight equal
parts.
Each part is assigned a planetary ruler based on the weekday sequence.
