What is Choghadiya?
Choghadiya (from Sanskrit chatur-ghadiya, “four ghadi”) is a muhurta system that divides the daytime and nighttime each into 8 equal parts. Every segment is ruled by a planet and carries a named quality:
- Amrit (Moon) and Shubh (Jupiter), most auspicious
- Labh (Mercury), good for profit and business
- Char (Venus), good for travel and movement
- Udveg (Sun), neutral, government work
- Rog (Mars), avoid for new starts, health matters
- Kaal (Saturn), most inauspicious, avoid all new ventures
Choghadiya is a fast, practical muhurta for everyday decisions when a full panchang analysis is not needed.
