Showing [[Dina (pancanga)|Dina]], [[Nakshatra]], [[Tithi]], [[Yoga]], [[Karana (pancanga)|Karana]] for every day, with automatic adjustment for any city in the world based on Sunset and sunrise of every city in the world.<br /> <br /> ==Etymology ==<br /> &#039;&#039;Ghadi&#039;&#039; (now used for a clock in Hindi) is an ancient measure for calculations of time in India roughly equivalent to 24 minutes. &#039;&#039;Cho-ghadiya&#039;&#039; means four &#039;&#039;ghadi&#039;&#039; which totals to 96 minutes. Most of choghadiya are of a figure around 96 minutes.<br /> <br /> ==About==<br /> As per Vedic Astrology, it is advisable to perform necessary prayers, on a particular time phase of the day to get maximum benefits of health, wealth and prosperity. One can get the appropriate time of [[Muhurta]] (Auspicious Occasion) from the [[Panchanga|Panchang]].<br /> <br /> ==Types of Choghadiya==<br /> There are totally seven types of Choghdiya.<br /> * Amrut, Shubh and Labh are considered the most auspicious Choghadiyas. (Time Period)<br /> * Char is considered as good Choghadiya. (Time Period)<br /> * Udveg, Kal and Rog is considered inauspicious.(NB: Udveg means Trepidation i.e. a feeling of fear or anxiety about something that may happen.)<br /> <br /> ==Method of calculation==<br /> Each day is divided into two time periods: <br /> [[Daytime (astronomy)|Daytime]] - the period from sunrise to sunset <br /> [[Nighttime]] - the period from sunset to sunrise.<br /> <br /> Each period contains eight Choghadiya&#039;s. The daytime difference is arrived at by calculating the difference between [[Sunrise]] and [[Sunset]] and dividing the same by 8.<br /> <br /> ===Example===<br /> <br /> Day 1: [[Sunrise]] at 6:00 AM and [[Sunset]] at 6:01 pm<br /> Day 2: [[Sunrise]] at 6:00 am<br /> <br /> based on the above <br /> The daytime period is 12 hours and 01 minutes (721 minutes).<br /> The nighttime period is 11 hours and 59 minutes (719 minutes).<br /> <br /> Therefore, each daytime Choghadiya lasts 721/8 = 90.125 minutes = 1 hour 30 minutes 7.5 seconds<br /> And each night-time Choghadiya last 719/8 = 89.87 minutes = 1 hour 29 minutes 52.5 second<br /> <br /> ==External links==<br /> <br /> https://hinduism.stackexchange.com/questions/26242/how-is-the-first-choghadiya-decided<br /> <br /> https://astrologyfutureeye.com/astrology-knowledge/choghadiya<br /> <br /> https://www.thedivineindia.com/choghadiya-muhurat/6953<br /> <br /> https://www.thedivineindia.com/aaj-ka-choghadiya-muhurat.html [aaj ka choghadiya muhurat]<br /> <br /> [[Category:Hindu astronomy]]<br /> [[Category:Technical factors of Hindu astrology]]<br /> [[Category:Hindu calendar]]</div>
