Amrit is the most favoured, followed by Shubh and Labh. Char is liked for travel. Udveg, Kaal and Rog are traditionally avoided for new beginnings.
Why is choghadiya different in each city?
Each slot is one eighth of the time between sunrise and sunset, so it changes with your city's sunrise. Pick your city above for local times.
