Choghadiya
Sunrise/sunset-based figures on this page depend on the place above. Pick yours once — this browser will remember it here next time; nothing is sent anywhere else.
The day (sunrise to sunset) and the night that follows (sunset to next sunrise) are each divided into 8 equal parts, named by a fixed weekday sequence. Best suited to short, everyday activities (starting a journey, a purchase, an important call) - for major life events (marriage, housewarming, a business opening) use the dedicated Muhurat pages instead, which weigh many more factors than Choghadiya alone.
As per place: Bhopal, Bhopāl, Madhya Pradesh (latitude 23.255°, longitude 77.403°)

† the verse names this qualitatively (Brihat Samhita 103.13); the exact width shown is a computational reconstruction, not verse-stated. ‡ identified using the same 15-equal-muhurta night division as Durmuhurtam above; no directly-quoted verse giving this precise figure was found, so it is tradition-consistent rather than a primary citation. Every other figure here is a directly computable classical or named-compilation rule already used elsewhere on this site.
