Choghadiya

'Good and Bad times of the day'

Generally, a day is divided into 8 parts of 1 hrs & 30 mins. each. The first part starting with the Sun Rise on the day and last part ending on Sun Set on that day approximately for the Day Times. Similarly, there are 8 parts starting with Sun Set of the current day and ending till Sun Rise next day. There are 7 types/grades of time periods of which four are auspicious (Amrut, Subh, Labh, Chal) and three are inauspicious (Rog / Kal / Udveg). Indian Astrologers suggest that works that are undertaken in the auspicious periods generally have a positive result and those done in the inauspicious period have a negative result.
