🪷 Choghadiya · Leicester, UK · 2026-01-18

8 day + 8 night choghadiyas · an almanac convention (no classical verse found) · on the Sūrya-Siddhānta's sunrise

कालः सृष्टिर्लय-कर्ता
Choghadiya divides the day and the night each into eight equal windows, named in the kāla-horā order of the weekday lords. It is an almanac convention of Gujarat, Rajasthan and Maharashtra: no verse defining it was found in the classical muhūrta texts, and no verdict is added here.
