Choghadiya Today — Detroit
Sunday, October 11, 2026 · Detroit, Michigan · UTC−4
Sunrise
7:42 AM
Sunset
6:57 PM
Each day slot
84 min
Computed from Detroit'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 84 minutes rather than a flat 90.
Day choghadiya
Sunrise 7:42 AM to sunset 6:57 PM, divided into eight.

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

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

When Detroit's clocks change
Detroit moves from UTC−4 to UTC−5 on November 1, 2026. The choghadiya follow the Sun, not the clock, so every slot keeps its place in the day while its clock time jumps: on November 1, 2026 sunrise, where the first day choghadiya begins, reads 7:07 AM on the new clock and would have read 8:07 AM on the old one.
Why Detroit needs its own table
Summer against winter
In Detroit a day choghadiya runs 114 min at the June solstice and 68 min at the December one, because the day arc itself changes length. Night runs the other way: 66 min against 112 min. Any table quoting a fixed 90 is wrong in both seasons.
Against the nearest city
Troy is only 20 miles from Detroit, and its sunrise today is 7:43 AM against Detroit's 7:42 AM. Every one of the sixteen slots shifts with it, which is why this is computed per city rather than per region.
Over the year, Detroit's solar arc moves enough to swing an eighth of the day by 47 minutes end to end.
Frequently asked
What is the shubh choghadiya today in Detroit?
Today's auspicious day slots in Detroit are Labh (10:31 AM–11:55 AM), Amrit (11:55 AM–1:19 PM), Shubh (2:44 PM–4:08 PM). 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 Detroit today the day slots run 84 minutes each and the night slots 96.
Which choghadiya should I avoid?
Rog, Kaal and Udveg. In Detroit today they fall at Udveg 7:42 AM–9:06 AM, Kaal 1:19 PM–2:44 PM, Rog 4:08 PM–5:32 PM, Udveg 5:32 PM–6:57 PM. 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 Detroit it opens with Shubh at 6:57 PM.
Choghadiya in other cities
Detroit 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.
