What the eight hours mean

Choghadiya splits the day from sunrise to sunset into eight equal parts, and the night into eight more. Each part takes one of seven names, in a fixed cycle that starts at a different point on each weekday. Rahu kaal, Gulika and Yamaganda are three of the eight day parts, set by the weekday too.

AmritNectar. The best of the eight: start anything that matters.
ShubhAuspicious. Ceremonies, meetings, beginnings.
LabhGain. Work, trade and money matters.
ChalMoving. Neutral; suited to travel and errands.
UdvegUnsettled. Routine only; avoid new starts.
RogIllness. Unhelpful for most things.
KaalLoss. Avoid starting anything you want to last.

Sunrise and sunset are for Lucknow's centre, so the times move by a minute or two across a large city. Times are IST, rounded to the minute, like a printed panchang.

And the Moon

Today's tithi and nakshatra are on the Moon today. For your own day, draw today's card.
