Choghadiya Today in Hyderabad

Aaj ka choghadiya for Hyderabad, Telangana, India: today’s auspicious and inauspicious periods, computed live from the actual sunrise and sunset in Hyderabad (Asia/Kolkata time).

How choghadiya works in Hyderabad

Choghadiya divides the time from sunrise to sunset into eight equal periods, and the night from sunset to the next sunrise into eight more. Because it is anchored to the sun, the timings in Hyderabad follow the local Telangana sky, not Indian Standard Time. Each period is roughly one and a half hours, longer in summer days and shorter in winter.

Because Hyderabad lies near 17.4 degrees north and keeps Asia/Kolkata time, its daylight runs longest around June and July and shortest around December and January. Every choghadiya period here stretches and shrinks with that daylight, which is why these timings are drawn from Hyderabad’s own sunrise and sunset rather than a fixed clock or Indian Standard Time.

The order of the eight periods is fixed by the day of the week, so devotees in Hyderabad can plan the week ahead with the table below, and check this page for the exact clock times each day.

Times move by under two minutes from year to year, so this table holds true whichever year you are reading it in.

Choghadiya in Hyderabad: common questions

What is the shubh choghadiya in Hyderabad today?

The tables above show today’s full day and night choghadiya for Hyderabad, Telangana, computed from the actual local sunrise and sunset. The periods marked Amrit, Shubh and Labh are the auspicious ones; the current period is highlighted.

Why are choghadiya timings different in Hyderabad than in India?

Choghadiya is anchored to the local sunrise and sunset, and both differ by place and season. The eight day periods run from sunrise to sunset in Hyderabad local time (Asia/Kolkata), so the same weekday order produces different clock times in every city.

Which choghadiya are good and which should be avoided?

Amrit, Shubh and Labh are auspicious for beginning new work; Char is fine for travel and routine tasks. Rog, Kaal and Udveg are best avoided for new beginnings, though work already underway need not stop.

Does the choghadiya order change every day?

The order is fixed by weekday: each weekday has its own day sequence and night sequence (see the weekly table above). What changes daily is the clock time of each period, because sunrise and sunset move through the year.
