What a choghadiya is, and how it is worked out
A choghadiya is one eighth of the daylight or one eighth of the night, so the day has eight and the night has eight. Each is named after one of seven kinds: Amrit, Shubh and Labh are good to begin something in, Char is good for travel and anything on the move, and Rog, Kaal and Udveg are avoided.
The day’s first choghadiya is set by the weekday: Udveg on Sunday, Amrit on Monday, Rog on Tuesday, Labh on Wednesday, Shubh on Thursday, Char on Friday and Kaal on Saturday. The rest follow in a fixed order, and the night has a sequence of its own.
Because each is a fraction of that day’s daylight or night, not a fixed hour, they lengthen in summer, shorten in winter and move from city to city with the sunrise. Every time here is for Lucknow, India, from the same sunrise and sunset as the panchang.
Rahu Kaal is counted separately, and a Rahu Kaal inside a good choghadiya is still usually avoided. It is marked on the row it falls in.
Choghadiya for other cities
Sunrise moves by minutes from city to city, and Rahu Kaal and every muhurat move with it. Pick yours.

Rahu Kaal: why the time is different every day
Most people remember Rahu Kaal as a fixed hour on a particular weekday. It is not one. It is a fraction of the daylight, which is why it moves through the year and differs between two cities on the same day.

Abhijit Muhurat: what it is and how to find it
You will see Abhijit Muhurat quoted as a fixed time around midday. It is not one. It is the middle of the day’s fifteen muhurtas, which is why it falls at a different clock time in every city and every month.
