Understanding Choghadiya

Choghadiya (चौघड़िया) is a Vedic system used to pick auspicious windows for daily activities — travel, meetings, purchases, ceremonies. The day from sunrise to sunset is split into 8 equal parts and the night from sunset to next sunrise into 8 more. Each window is ruled by a planet and carries a fixed nature.

• అమృతం (చంద్రుడు) — most auspicious; ideal for any new beginning.
• శుభం (గురువు) — favorable for ceremonies and learning.
• లాభం (బుధుడు) — gains, business, financial activities.
• చరం (శుక్రుడు) — neutral; good for travel and short tasks.
• ఉద్వేగం (సూర్యుడు) — restlessness; avoid important work.
• కాలం (శని) — avoid new ventures.
• రోగం (కుజుడు) — illness/conflict; avoid health & legal matters.
