Choghadiya
Choghadiya divides the daytime (sunrise to sunset) and the night (sunset to sunrise) each into eight equal parts; the day's first part takes the name of the weekday's lord, and the night's first the lord fifth from it.
An almanac convention, as the app shows it.
| Graha | Choghadiya |
|---|---|
| Surya | Udvega |
| Chandra | Amrita |
| Mangala | Roga |
| Budha | Labha |
| Guru | Shubha |
| Shukra | Chara |
| Shani | Kala |
The day runs Surya, Shukra, Budha, Chandra, Shani, Guru, Mangala from the weekday's lord; the night from the lord fifth from it, Surya, Guru, Chandra, Shukra, Mangala, Shani, Budha: the table of the Uttarakhand Open University course text (Muhurta Vichara 3.4.4). BOB-Nakshatra's research found no Sanskrit source for choghadiya, and almanacs carry two different night tables; the app follows this one.
