Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Amrit Choghadiya time today in Johannesburg?
Today (Friday, 11 September 2026), Amrit Choghadiya in Johannesburg runs from 09:07 AM to 10:35 AM. Amrit is one of the three auspicious Choghadiya periods, alongside Shubh and Labh.
What is Choghadiya?
Choghadiya divides the day into 8 periods between sunrise and sunset, and the night into 8 more between sunset and the next sunrise. Each is ruled by a planet and labelled auspicious (Amrit, Shubh, Labh), inauspicious (Udveg, Rog, Kaal) or neutral (Chal). It is used to pick a favourable window for travel, purchases, or starting something new.
Why are day and night Choghadiya periods different lengths?
Because each half is divided by its own span, not by the clock. The 8 day periods share the hours between sunrise and sunset, and the 8 night periods share the hours between sunset and the following sunrise — so outside the equinoxes one set is longer than the other, and both shift through the year. The periods below are computed for Johannesburg's own coordinates.
