Choghadiya in Chennai today
In Chennai today, Saturday, September 19, 2026, the sun rises at 5:58 AM and sets at 6:07 PM, giving 12 hr 9 min of daylight. Divided into eight, each day choghadiya runs 1 hr 31 min. The night, from 6:07 PM to tomorrow’s sunrise at 5:58 AM, is 11 hr 51 min, so each night choghadiya runs 1 hr 29 min. The day periods are longer than the night ones at this time of year.
Today is a Saturday, so the day opens with Kaal at sunrise and the night opens with Labh at sunset. The auspicious daylight periods in Chennai fall at Shubh 7:29 AM – 9:00 AM, Labh 1:34 PM – 3:05 PM, Amrit 3:05 PM – 4:36 PM; the ones to avoid are Kaal 5:58 AM – 7:29 AM, Rog 9:00 AM – 10:31 AM, Udveg 10:31 AM – 12:03 PM, Kaal 4:36 PM – 6:07 PM.
These are Chennai’s own boundaries. A city a few hundred kilometres east or west has a different sunrise, and every one of the sixteen periods shifts with it, which is why a choghadiya table for another city is not a substitute for this one.
Choghadiya in Chennai: questions
What is the best choghadiya today in Chennai?▼
In daylight: Shubh 7:29 AM – 9:00 AM, Labh 1:34 PM – 3:05 PM, Amrit 3:05 PM – 4:36 PM. After sunset: Labh 6:07 PM – 7:36 PM, Shubh 9:05 PM – 10:34 PM, Amrit 10:34 PM – 12:03 AM, Labh 4:29 AM – 5:58 AM. Amrit is treated as the best of them, Shubh for anything meant to last, and Labh for gain; all three are fine for a beginning. Times are for Chennai on Saturday, September 19, 2026.
How long is one choghadiya in Chennai today?▼
1 hr 31 min by day and 1 hr 29 min by night. Daylight in Chennai today is 12 hr 9 min and the night is 11 hr 51 min; each is divided into eight equal parts, so the nominal 96 minutes is only a name.
Does Rahu Kaal fall inside a good choghadiya today in Chennai?▼
Rahu Kaal in Chennai today runs 9:00 AM – 10:31 AM, which overlaps Rog (9:00 AM – 10:31 AM). None of those is an auspicious period, so the two systems do not conflict today: the good choghadiya windows are all clear of Rahu Kaal.
What is the first choghadiya at sunrise today in Chennai?▼
Kaal, from 5:58 AM – 7:29 AM, because today is a Saturday, and the day sequence for that weekday always opens on Kaal. The night sequence tonight opens with Labh at 6:07 PM.
