Shubh Vela

In muhurat, the attempt is made to select the best part of the day. Specially on Diwali night this method is taken into account for performing the pooja in auspicious time. This method of calculating the best time is called “Choghadia muhurat” . Choghadia is a name given to a particular segment of a day.There are 7 types of Choghadia called amrut,shubh,labh,chal,udveg,rog & kal.To select the best part of the time during day , divide the period from sunrise to sunset into 8 parts called Choghadia. Thus, in each period any one of the seven different types of Choghadias will occur twice. Similarly we can do the same procedure for night time also.The sequence of daytime and night-time Choghadias varies for each day. However, for each day, the sequence is the same.
Example
Sunrise at 6:30 am
Sunset at 5:30 pm
Length of the day=5.30-6.30=11 hrs=660 mints
Each Choghadia=660/8=82.5 mints=1hr &22.5 mints
Amrut, Shubh and Labh are favorable choghadias.
Chal is an intermediate choghadia.
Udveg, Rog and Kal are unfavorable choghadias.
The sequence of choghadiyas for each day is as follows.
