How does this tool work?
Calculate the eight daytime and eight nighttime Choghadiya periods from your location, date, time zone, local sunrise and local sunset.
The engine first calculates local sunrise and sunset for the selected coordinates and time zone. Daylight is divided into eight equal parts, while the night from sunset to the next sunrise is divided into another eight parts. The Choghadiya sequence changes with the weekday and uses the traditional names Shubh, Rog, Udveg, Char, Labh, Amrit and Kaal.
