Choghadiya is simple way to know auspiciousness of day (Chaughadiya Muhurat Demystified )

Chaughadiya is one of the systems for finding Muhurat (auspicious moment) to initiate any important work. Choghadiya is popularity used to find the most auspicious time to initiate a journey. But its application is not limited to journey and it can be used to find muhurat for any important event or work. Chaughadiya is effective but easy to calculate and it is the beauty of Chaughadiya Muhurat.

Why To Find Muhurat?

The concept of Muhurat originated just to ensure that everything that is taken up becomes successful. Who would let their efforts go in vain? Hence, the concept of Muhurat came into existence and Chaughadia Muhurat technique created its existence in this crowded world of methods and techniques. You may find Muhurat for applying Visa, job or any important application. Additionally, you may initiate any new venture or business as per perfect Muhurat. Performing any major activity or event at home according to the Muhurat gives more beneficial results; and all of us are aware of basic use of finding Muhurata that is initiating a journey, performing a Puja or any other spiritual activity. 


What Is Chaughadia?

‘Choghadia’ is a Sanskrit term comprising 2 Sanskrit words in it - ‘Cho’ + ‘Ghadia’. ‘Cho’ means 4 and ‘Ghadia’ means a moment. Ghadia is mainly known as Ghati. Therefore, Chaughadia means 4 Ghati. The ancient Indian system of time is different from the present international system. It is consisted of Ghati instead of hours. If we compare both the systems, 60 Ghatis are equivalent to 24 hours. Second difference is that the modern system starts a day at 12am and closes at the next 12am; whereas, the ancient Indian system starts a day from the sunrise and closes it with the next day’s sunrise. Now, let’s go in detail.

Basically, each Chaughadiya is consisted of 3.75 Ghati, which is approximately 4 Ghati. Hence, if we calculate the total Chaughadiya in a day, they are 16 in number.

Classification Of Chaughadiya

There are total seven chaughadiya as follows -:

Chaughadiya Muhurat classificationEach of these 7 Choghadias has special significance. Some are auspicious, some are just neutral and some are inauspicious. Hence, it is very simple to understand the person has to find the auspicious one for his/her benefit. Let’s now see the classification of auspicious, neutral and inauspicious below:

1. Auspicious - Amrut, Shoobh & Labh

2. Neutral - Chal

3. Inauspicious - Udveg, Kaal & Rog

Hence, important initiatives should be taken during Amrut, Shoobh or Labh Chaughadia; and avoid important initiatives during Udveg, Kaal or Rog Chaughadia. 

Hindu day starts with sunrise and ends with the sunrise next day. There are total eight chaughadiyas during day (sunrise to sunset) and again eight chaughadiyas during night (from sunset to sunrise). Chaughadia falling in day part are generally referred as day Choghadia and Chaudhadiya falling between sunet to sunrise is referred as night chaughadiya. 



Choghadiya is time during day which may be auspicious or inauspicious.Generally it is used to see travel time.It is also used to see favourable time to start new work.Since its really very simple to use its very much popular.Choghadiya is simple way to know auspiciousness of day.There are two types of Choghadiya.Day Choghadiya and Night Choghadiya.
 

Day Choghadiya is  time between sunrise  and sunset.There are total 8 Choghadiya in a day. Amrit,Shubh,Labh, and Chal are considered to be auspicious respectively.Amrit is considered to be best Choghadiya.Chal is good.
 

Night Choghadiya is time between sunset and sunrise.There are total 8 Choghadiya in a Night.Rog,Kaal,Udveg, are considered to be inauspicious respectively.
There are total 16 Choghadiya; 8 for day and 8 for night.One Ghadi is equals 24 minutes,so 4 ghadi or Choghadiya is about one hour and thirty minutes.

 

It is different for everyday.For day Choghadiya time between sunrise and sunset is taken then divided by 8.This comes to roughly 90 mins.So when added to sunrise time we get first day choghadiya.Example sunrise time is 06:00 am adding 90 mins comes to 07:30 .So first choghadiya starts from 06:00 am and ends 07:30am.When again 90 mins is added to 07:30 its 09:00 so second choghadiya starts from 07:30 am and ends at 09:00am.So is with night choghadiya.Now looking in given day choghadiya we see on monday first choghadiya is Amrit and second choghadiya is Kaal.so here first is best and second is not good or bad choghadiya.
