How choghadiya works in North Carolina

Choghadiya divides the time from sunrise to sunset into eight equal periods, and the night from sunset to the next sunrise into eight more. It is anchored to the local sun, not to Indian Standard Time, so the same weekday order lands on different clock times in every North Carolina city, and the periods stretch in summer and shrink in winter. The order for each weekday never changes:

Day	Day choghadiya order (from sunrise)	Night choghadiya order (from sunset)
Sunday	Udveg, Char, Labh, Amrit, Kaal, Shubh, Rog, Udveg	Shubh, Amrit, Char, Rog, Kaal, Labh, Udveg, Shubh
Monday	Amrit, Kaal, Shubh, Rog, Udveg, Char, Labh, Amrit	Char, Rog, Kaal, Labh, Udveg, Shubh, Amrit, Char
Tuesday	Rog, Udveg, Char, Labh, Amrit, Kaal, Shubh, Rog	Kaal, Labh, Udveg, Shubh, Amrit, Char, Rog, Kaal
Wednesday	Labh, Amrit, Kaal, Shubh, Rog, Udveg, Char, Labh	Udveg, Shubh, Amrit, Char, Rog, Kaal, Labh, Udveg
Thursday	Shubh, Rog, Udveg, Char, Labh, Amrit, Kaal, Shubh	Amrit, Char, Rog, Kaal, Labh, Udveg, Shubh, Amrit
Friday	Char, Labh, Amrit, Kaal, Shubh, Rog, Udveg, Char	Rog, Kaal, Labh, Udveg, Shubh, Amrit, Char, Rog

Choghadiya through the year in Charlotte

Each choghadiya is an eighth of the day or of the night, so its length is set by how long the sun is up in Charlotte. These are the sunrise and sunset for the twenty first of each month, with the resulting length of a single day and night period. Times move by under two minutes from year to year, so this table holds true whichever year you are reading it in.

Choghadiya in North Carolina: common questions

Which choghadiya should I use in North Carolina?

Use the page of the city nearest to you: Charlotte, Cary. Within the same metro the periods differ by only a few minutes, because choghadiya is computed from the local sunrise and sunset.

Is the choghadiya the same everywhere in North Carolina?

The weekday order of the eight periods is identical everywhere, in North Carolina and in India alike. What changes from city to city is the clock time of each period, which follows each place’s own sunrise and sunset and shifts as you move east or west across North Carolina.

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.
