Choghadiya — common questions
What is today's Choghadiya in Kathmandu?
On Friday, 16 October 2026, the day Choghadiya in Kathmandu starts at sunrise (6:04 AM) with Char, and the night Choghadiya starts at sunset (5:33 PM) with Rog. Day sequence: Char, Labh, Amrit, Kaal, Shubh, Rog, Udveg, Char.
Which are the good Choghadiya timings today in Kathmandu?
Today's favorable daytime Choghadiyas (Amrit, Shubh, Labh) in Kathmandu are: Labh 7:30 AM – 8:56 AM, Amrit 8:56 AM – 10:22 AM, Shubh 11:49 AM – 1:15 PM (NPT).
When is Amrit Choghadiya today?
Amrit Choghadiya in Kathmandu today: Amrit 8:56 AM – 10:22 AM, Amrit 1:23 AM – 2:57 AM (NPT). Amrit is considered the most auspicious of the seven Choghadiyas.
How is Choghadiya calculated?
Daytime (sunrise to sunset) and night-time (sunset to next sunrise) are each divided into 8 equal Choghadiyas. The first daytime Choghadiya is ruled by the weekday's planet and the rest follow a fixed planetary order, so the sequence differs for each weekday and the timings change daily with sunrise and sunset.
Which Choghadiyas are good and which should be avoided?
Amrit, Shubh and Labh are good for important beginnings; Char is neutral and especially good for travel. Udveg, Kaal and Rog are traditionally treated as less favorable for starting new things, though routine work can continue.
Is the Choghadiya for Kathmandu in IST?
No. Kathmandu's Choghadiya is divided from Kathmandu's own sunrise (6:04 AM) and sunset (5:33 PM) and shown in local time (NPT, Asia/Kathmandu). An Indian Choghadiya converted to Kathmandu time would put every period in the wrong place.
