Day at a glance
Panchang windows not defined here today
Choghadiya, Gowri and Rahu Kalam each divide local daylight into eight parts. At very high latitudes (above ~66°) the sun can stay up — or stay down — for the whole day, so a local sunrise/sunset pair doesn't exist for this date. Tithi, nakshatra and yoga above are still valid.
ChoghadiyaA North Indian timing system: eight day windows and eight night windows, each rated good, neutral, or bad. A quick way to pick (or avoid) a slot for an everyday task.Learn more in glossary
