Night periods that start after midnight fall on the next calendar day.
A location-based panchang recalculates its five limbs, and every muhurat window, from that day's actual sunrise at a specific place — unlike a generic date-only almanac, which uses a single fixed reference moment (see our Tithi & Panchang Calculator for that simpler version). Because sunrise time itself varies by city and by season, the exact start and end of Rahu Kalam or a given Choghadiya period can shift meaningfully between, say, Chennai and Amritsar on the same calendar date.
Choghadiya divides both the daytime and nighttime spans into eight periods each, cycling through seven named types (Amrit, Shubh, Labh, and Chal are broadly favorable; Kaal, Rog, and Udveg are not), commonly used for quick day-to-day timing decisions like travel or short errands.
Today (Tuesday, 6 October 2026) the Sun rises in Varanasi at 05:52 IST and sets at 17:39 IST, so the first day choghadiya begins at 05:52.
Choghadiya divides the day and night into eight periods each, cycling through seven named types with different auspicious or inauspicious character, commonly used for quick everyday timing decisions like travel.
Rahu Kalam, Gulika Kalam, Yamaganda, Abhijit Muhurat, and Choghadiya are all calculated as fixed fractions of the daytime span between that city's actual sunrise and sunset on the selected date, so both the length and clock time of each window shift with real sunrise/sunset, which differs by location and season.
Sunrise, sunset, and all muhurat windows are computed from real astronomical rise/set times for the selected city and date (Lahiri ayanamsa for tithi/nakshatra/yoga/karana). Muhurat boundary times can shift by a few minutes from other panchang sources depending on the exact sunrise definition and rounding used.
This panchang and its muhurat windows are a general-purpose reference tool for awareness and entertainment, based on standard calculation methods. For decisions on weddings, ceremonies, or other significant life events, consult a qualified astrologer.
