Choghadiya in Melbourne today
In Melbourne today, Saturday, September 19, 2026, the sun rises at 6:15 AM and sets at 6:14 PM, giving 11 hr 59 min of daylight. Divided into eight, each day choghadiya runs 1 hr 30 min. The night, from 6:14 PM to tomorrow’s sunrise at 6:13 AM, is 12 hr, so each night choghadiya runs 1 hr 30 min. The day periods are shorter 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 Melbourne fall at Shubh 7:45 AM – 9:15 AM, Labh 1:44 PM – 3:14 PM, Amrit 3:14 PM – 4:44 PM; the ones to avoid are Kaal 6:15 AM – 7:45 AM, Rog 9:15 AM – 10:45 AM, Udveg 10:45 AM – 12:14 PM, Kaal 4:44 PM – 6:14 PM.
These are Melbourne’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 Melbourne: questions
What is the best choghadiya today in Melbourne?▼
In daylight: Shubh 7:45 AM – 9:15 AM, Labh 1:44 PM – 3:14 PM, Amrit 3:14 PM – 4:44 PM. After sunset: Labh 6:14 PM – 7:44 PM, Shubh 9:14 PM – 10:44 PM, Amrit 10:44 PM – 12:14 AM, Labh 4:43 AM – 6:13 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 Melbourne on Saturday, September 19, 2026.
How long is one choghadiya in Melbourne today?▼
1 hr 30 min by day and 1 hr 30 min by night. Daylight in Melbourne today is 11 hr 59 min and the night is 12 hr; 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 Melbourne?▼
Rahu Kaal in Melbourne today runs 9:15 AM – 10:45 AM, which overlaps Rog (9:15 AM – 10:45 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 Melbourne?▼
Kaal, from 6:15 AM – 7:45 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 6:14 PM.
