Choghadiya Today — Allahabad
Monday, 2026-10-12 · Allahabad, Uttar Pradesh · UTC+5:30
Sunrise
06:01
Sunset
17:38
Each day slot
87 min
Computed from Allahabad's own sunrise and sunset with the Swiss Ephemeris — not a national table with the city name changed. That is why the slot length above is 87 minutes rather than a flat 90.

Which choghadiya opens each day in Allahabad
The slot the day begins on is set by the weekday, and its window by Allahabad's own sunrise — so this table is specific to both.

When Allahabad's clocks change
India does not change its clocks, so the only thing that moves Rahu Kaal here is the Sun: sunrise in Allahabad is 05:14 at the June solstice and 06:45 at the December one, 91 minutes apart.
Why Allahabad needs its own table
Summer against winter
In Allahabad a day choghadiya runs 103 min at the June solstice and 79 min at the December one, because the day arc itself changes length. Night runs the other way: 77 min against 101 min. Any table quoting a fixed 90 is wrong in both seasons.
Against the nearest city
Varanasi is only 115 km from Allahabad, and its sunrise today is 05:56 against Allahabad's 06:01. Every one of the sixteen slots shifts with it, which is why this is computed per city rather than per region.
Over the year, Allahabad's solar arc moves enough to swing an eighth of the day by 24 minutes end to end.
Frequently asked
What is the shubh choghadiya today in Allahabad?
Today's auspicious day slots in Allahabad are Amrit (06:01–07:28), Shubh (08:55–10:22), Labh (14:44–16:11), Amrit (16:11–17:38). Amrit is the strongest, then Shubh, then Labh.
Is a choghadiya always 90 minutes?
No. A choghadiya is one-eighth of the day arc, so it stretches and shrinks with sunrise and sunset. In Allahabad today the day slots run 87 minutes each and the night slots 93.
Which choghadiya should I avoid?
Rog, Kaal and Udveg. In Allahabad today they fall at Kaal 07:28–08:55, Rog 10:22–11:50, Udveg 11:50–13:17. Char is neutral and is the traditional slot for travel. Udveg is ruled by the Sun and is a separate thing from Rahu Kaal, which is ruled by Rahu.
Why does night choghadiya not repeat the day sequence?
Because it begins five positions further into the same cycle, and runs from sunset to the following sunrise rather than for a fixed twelve hours. Tonight in Allahabad it opens with Char at 17:38.
Choghadiya in other cities
Allahabad shares this. Your chart does not.
These windows come from the Sun and the weekday, so a whole city shares them. Whether a period is actually good for you depends on your own running dasha and the transits over your chart.
