What is Choghadiya?

Choghadiya (Chogadia) is a Vedic muhurat system that divides each day and night into 8 equal periods, each ruled by a planet. It is traditionally used to find auspicious times for travel, ceremonies, business and new beginnings. The day sequence follows Sun, Venus, Mercury, Moon, Saturn, Jupiter, Mars with +1 stepping; the night uses -2 stepping, matching traditional Vedic texts.

How to Use Choghadiya for Daily Decisions

In Vedic tradition, every day is divided into eight day and eight night Choghadiya periods. Each period is ruled by a planet that influences the outcome of work started during it. Here is how to apply today's Patna Choghadiya to common activities:

Remember to also check Rahu Kaal (07:03 AM - 08:39 AM today in Patna). Even an auspicious Choghadiya loses its benefit if it overlaps with Rahu Kaal, so avoid starting important work during that window.

Why Choghadiya Timings Matter in Vedic Astrology

Choghadiya is one of the simplest yet most reliable muhurat systems in Vedic astrology. Unlike complex panchang calculations, it requires only the sunrise and sunset times for a location and follows a fixed planetary sequence. Because it is location-specific, Choghadiya timings in Patna differ from other cities by a few minutes based on longitude and sunrise.

This page calculates Choghadiya using the verified Vedic planetary sequence (Sun, Venus, Mercury, Moon, Saturn, Jupiter, Mars) with the day sequence using +1 stepping and night using -2 stepping, cross-checked with DrikPanchang. The sunrise and sunset times use the NOAA solar algorithm for accuracy.
