Choghadiya in New Delhi today
In New Delhi today, Saturday, September 19, 2026, the sun rises at 6:08 AM and sets at 6:22 PM, giving 12 hr 14 min of daylight. Divided into eight, each day choghadiya runs 1 hr 32 min. The night, from 6:22 PM to tomorrow’s sunrise at 6:08 AM, is 11 hr 47 min, so each night choghadiya runs 1 hr 28 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 New Delhi fall at Shubh 7:40 AM – 9:11 AM, Labh 1:47 PM – 3:18 PM, Amrit 3:18 PM – 4:50 PM; the ones to avoid are Kaal 6:08 AM – 7:40 AM, Rog 9:11 AM – 10:43 AM, Udveg 10:43 AM – 12:15 PM, Kaal 4:50 PM – 6:22 PM.
These are New Delhi’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 New Delhi: questions
What is the best choghadiya today in New Delhi?▼
In daylight: Shubh 7:40 AM – 9:11 AM, Labh 1:47 PM – 3:18 PM, Amrit 3:18 PM – 4:50 PM. After sunset: Labh 6:22 PM – 7:50 PM, Shubh 9:18 PM – 10:47 PM, Amrit 10:47 PM – 12:15 AM, Labh 4:40 AM – 6:08 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 New Delhi on Saturday, September 19, 2026.
How long is one choghadiya in New Delhi today?▼
1 hr 32 min by day and 1 hr 28 min by night. Daylight in New Delhi today is 12 hr 14 min and the night is 11 hr 47 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 New Delhi?▼
Rahu Kaal in New Delhi today runs 9:11 AM – 10:43 AM, which overlaps Rog (9:11 AM – 10:43 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 New Delhi?▼
Kaal, from 6:08 AM – 7:40 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 6:22 PM.
