Choghadiya Today — Dar es Salaam
Monday, 2026-10-12 · Dar es Salaam, Tanzania · UTC+3
Sunrise
06:04
Sunset
18:16
Each day slot
91 min
Computed from Dar es Salaam'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 91 minutes rather than a flat 90.

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

Amrit, Shubh and Labh in Dar es Salaam for the next 30 days
From each day's sunrise and sunset in Dar es Salaam. Amrit falls in daylight on 30 of these 30 days; a dash means that slot is in the night that day.

When Dar es Salaam's clocks change
Tanzania does not change its clocks, so the only thing that moves Rahu Kaal here is the Sun: sunrise in Dar es Salaam is 06:34 at the June solstice and 06:07 at the December one, 27 minutes apart.
Why Dar es Salaam needs its own table
Summer against winter
In Dar es Salaam a day choghadiya runs 88 min at the June solstice and 94 min at the December one, because the day arc itself changes length. Night runs the other way: 92 min against 87 min. Any table quoting a fixed 90 is wrong in both seasons.
Over the year, Dar es Salaam's solar arc moves enough to swing an eighth of the day by 7 minutes end to end.
Frequently asked
What is the shubh choghadiya today in Dar es Salaam?
Today's auspicious day slots in Dar es Salaam are Amrit (06:04–07:35), Shubh (09:07–10:38), Labh (15:13–16:44), Amrit (16:44–18:16). 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 Dar es Salaam today the day slots run 91 minutes each and the night slots 88.
Which choghadiya should I avoid?
Rog, Kaal and Udveg. In Dar es Salaam today they fall at Kaal 07:35–09:07, Rog 10:38–12:10, Udveg 12:10–13:41. 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 Dar es Salaam it opens with Char at 18:16.
Choghadiya in other cities
Dar es Salaam 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.
