Choghadiya in New York today

In New York today, Saturday, September 19, 2026, the sun rises at 6:41 AM and sets at 6:58 PM, giving 12 hr 17 min of daylight. Divided into eight, each day choghadiya runs 1 hr 32 min. The night, from 6:58 PM to tomorrow’s sunrise at 6:42 AM, is 11 hr 44 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 York fall at Shubh 8:13 AM – 9:45 AM, Labh 2:22 PM – 3:54 PM, Amrit 3:54 PM – 5:26 PM; the ones to avoid are Kaal 6:41 AM – 8:13 AM, Rog 9:45 AM – 11:17 AM, Udveg 11:17 AM – 12:49 PM, Kaal 5:26 PM – 6:58 PM.

These are New York’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 York: questions

What is the best choghadiya today in New York?

In daylight: Shubh 8:13 AM – 9:45 AM, Labh 2:22 PM – 3:54 PM, Amrit 3:54 PM – 5:26 PM. After sunset: Labh 6:58 PM – 8:26 PM, Shubh 9:54 PM – 11:22 PM, Amrit 11:22 PM – 12:50 AM, Labh 5:14 AM – 6:42 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 York on Saturday, September 19, 2026.

How long is one choghadiya in New York today?

1 hr 32 min by day and 1 hr 28 min by night. Daylight in New York today is 12 hr 17 min and the night is 11 hr 44 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 York?

Rahu Kaal in New York today runs 9:45 AM – 11:17 AM, which overlaps Rog (9:45 AM – 11:17 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 York?

Kaal, from 6:41 AM – 8:13 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 6:58 PM.
