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.

Frequently asked questions
- Why do choghadiya times in New Jersey (Edison) differ from the Delhi reference?
- This page is computed for New Jersey (Edison)’s own coordinates (40.52°N, 74.41°W) in the America/New_York time zone, not re-used from Delhi. Because every window is anchored to local sunrise, a different longitude shifts the clock times — and cities far east or west of Delhi can even observe a different tithi for the day.
- How does daylight saving time affect choghadiya in New Jersey (Edison)?
- The page always uses the city’s current EST offset, so the clock times above already reflect daylight saving time. When the clocks change in spring and autumn, the printed times jump by an hour while the underlying sun-anchored windows stay the same.
