Choghadiya for Varanasi
6 Aug 2026 · Guruvaar (Thu)
Sunrise 05:27, sunset 18:40. The daylight period is divided into eight, and the night from sunset to tomorrow's sunrise into eight more — so these windows are never a fixed 90 minutes, and they move through the year.

Reference
What each choghadiya means
Seven types, each ruled by a planet. The day's first choghadiya is always the one ruled by that weekday's lord — which is why Sunday opens with Udveg (Sun) and Monday with Amrit (Moon).

Ceremonies, marriage, worship and anything requiring blessing.
Labh

Business, trade, education and starting anything meant to earn.
Char

Travel, vehicles and anything that moves. Neutral for stationary work.
Udveg
