Choghadiya for Pune on 1 September 2026. The day from sunrise (6:19 am) to sunset (6:49 pm) is divided into eight equal parts, and the night from sunset to the next sunrise into eight more. Each part carries a name that marks it auspicious, inauspicious or neutral.
How to read the Choghadiya
Choghadiya is the quickest muhurat system in practical use — it needs no chart, only the weekday and the sunrise time. It is what people traditionally consult before setting out on a journey, signing something, or starting a small piece of work where a full muhurat calculation would be overkill.
- Amrit — the most auspicious; suitable for any undertaking.
- Shubh — auspicious; favoured for marriage, ceremonies and religious work.
- Labh — "gain"; the preferred window for business, trade and new ventures.
- Char — "moving"; good for travel and anything mobile.
- Udveg — anxiety; avoid for new work, though government-related matters are an exception in some traditions.
- Rog — illness; avoid, particularly for health-related matters and travel.
- Kaal — the most inauspicious; avoid beginning anything of consequence.
Day and night sequences are different
The day sequence begins with a name fixed by the weekday and cycles through the seven in order; the night sequence uses a different starting name and a different cycle order. This is why the Choghadiya you remember from a Sunday does not apply on a Wednesday, and why the night table below is not simply a repeat of the day table.
Frequently asked questions
Which Choghadiya is best for starting work?
Amrit is the most auspicious overall, followed by Shubh and Labh. For business and money matters Labh is preferred; for travel, Char. Avoid Kaal, Rog and Udveg for anything you want to last.
How long is one Choghadiya?
Roughly 90 minutes, but never exactly. Each day Choghadiya is one-eighth of the sunrise-to-sunset interval, so it stretches past 90 minutes in summer and shrinks below it in winter — and the night slots move in the opposite direction.
Is Choghadiya different for Pune?
Yes. The sequence of names depends only on the weekday, but the timings depend entirely on Pune's sunrise and sunset, which is why the table on this page is computed for that city rather than a national average.
Can I travel during Kaal Choghadiya?
Traditionally Kaal is avoided for beginning a journey. If travel is unavoidable, the usual practice is to leave during an auspicious slot even if only symbolically — stepping out of the house during Amrit, Shubh, Labh or Char and starting the actual journey afterwards.
What is Vela and how does it relate to Choghadiya?
Vela is the broader term for an auspicious period; Choghadiya is one specific eight-part scheme for finding it. Both are consulted alongside Rahu Kaal and the tithi — Choghadiya alone is a quick check, not a complete muhurat.
