Choghadiya in London today

In London today, Saturday, September 19, 2026, the sun rises at 6:42 AM and sets at 7:06 PM, giving 12 hr 24 min of daylight. Divided into eight, each day choghadiya runs 1 hr 33 min. The night, from 7:06 PM to tomorrow’s sunrise at 6:43 AM, is 11 hr 37 min, so each night choghadiya runs 1 hr 27 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 London fall at Shubh 8:15 AM – 9:48 AM, Labh 2:27 PM – 4:00 PM, Amrit 4:00 PM – 5:33 PM; the ones to avoid are Kaal 6:42 AM – 8:15 AM, Rog 9:48 AM – 11:21 AM, Udveg 11:21 AM – 12:54 PM, Kaal 5:33 PM – 7:06 PM.

These are London’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 London: questions

What is the best choghadiya today in London?

In daylight: Shubh 8:15 AM – 9:48 AM, Labh 2:27 PM – 4:00 PM, Amrit 4:00 PM – 5:33 PM. After sunset: Labh 7:06 PM – 8:33 PM, Shubh 10:00 PM – 11:27 PM, Amrit 11:27 PM – 12:55 AM, Labh 5:16 AM – 6:43 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 London on Saturday, September 19, 2026.

How long is one choghadiya in London today?

1 hr 33 min by day and 1 hr 27 min by night. Daylight in London today is 12 hr 24 min and the night is 11 hr 37 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 London?

Rahu Kaal in London today runs 9:48 AM – 11:21 AM, which overlaps Rog (9:48 AM – 11:21 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 London?

Kaal, from 6:42 AM – 8:15 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 7:06 PM.
