What each Choghadiya is good for
| Amrit | Best — all auspicious works, prayer, meditation, beginning medicines |
|---|---|
| Shubh | Good — ceremonies, house-related works, spiritual deeds |
| Labh | Good — business, trade and financial dealings |
| Char | Neutral — travel, movement and vehicles |
| Udveg | Avoid new beginnings; routine administrative work only |
| Rog | Avoid important work; conflicts and health matters need care |
| Kaal | Avoid — new ventures and journeys are discouraged |
If a good Choghadiya overlaps Rahu Kaal, tradition gives Rahu Kaal priority: postpone the activity to another Amrit or Shubh segment outside the Rahu window. The two systems answer different questions — Choghadiya ranks the quality of a time span, Rahu Kaal marks a span to avoid altogether.
