Which Choghadiya is best for starting new work?

Amrit is considered the most auspicious, then Shubh and Labh. On this day the auspicious day windows are: Labh (8:03 AM–9:24 AM), Amrit (9:24 AM–10:44 AM), Shubh (12:05 PM–1:26 PM).

Why does the Choghadiya table change every day?

Two reasons. The windows are eighths of daylight, so they stretch and shrink with the seasons; and the sequence of names starts at a different point for each weekday, so the same clock time carries a different choghadiya tomorrow.

Is this valid for my city?

These timings are computed for New Delhi, India (IST). Because each window is a division of local daylight, they shift with your longitude and latitude - often substantially outside north India.

13 November 2026 Choghadiya (Friday) - Shubh Muhurat Timings

What Choghadiya is

Choghadiya divides the day into eight parts between sunrise and sunset, and the night into eight more between sunset and the next sunrise. Each part carries one of seven names - Amrit, Shubh and Labh are treated as auspicious, Kaal, Rog and Udveg as inauspicious, and Char as neutral. Which name falls first depends on the weekday, so the whole table shifts every day.

Reading the table

Amrit is the most favoured window, followed by Shubh and Labh. Kaal, Rog and Udveg are the ones traditionally avoided for starting something new; Char sits in between and suits travel and errands. These timings are derived from sunrise at New Delhi, India (IST) - they shift with your location, because every window is measured from local sunrise.

Pick an Amrit, Shubh or Labh window for anything you want to go smoothly, and avoid opening something new inside Kaal, Rog or Udveg.
