Choghadiya Today — Leicester
Monday, 2026-10-12 · Leicester, England · UTC+1
Sunrise
07:27
Sunset
18:17
Each day slot
81 min
Computed from Leicester'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 81 minutes rather than a flat 90.

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

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

When Leicester's clocks change
Leicester moves from UTC+1 to UTC+0 on 2026-10-25. The choghadiya follow the Sun, not the clock, so every slot keeps its place in the day while its clock time jumps: on 2026-10-25 sunrise, where the first day choghadiya begins, reads 06:50 on the new clock and would have read 07:50 on the old one.
Why Leicester needs its own table
Summer against winter
In Leicester a day choghadiya runs 126 min at the June solstice and 57 min at the December one, because the day arc itself changes length. Night runs the other way: 54 min against 123 min. Any table quoting a fixed 90 is wrong in both seasons.
Against the nearest city
Birmingham is only 53 km from Leicester, and its sunrise today is 07:29 against Leicester's 07:27. Every one of the sixteen slots shifts with it, which is why this is computed per city rather than per region.
Over the year, Leicester's solar arc moves enough to swing an eighth of the day by 70 minutes end to end.
Frequently asked
What is the shubh choghadiya today in Leicester?
Today's auspicious day slots in Leicester are Amrit (07:27–08:48), Shubh (10:09–11:30), Labh (15:34–16:56), Amrit (16:56–18:17). 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 Leicester today the day slots run 81 minutes each and the night slots 99.
Which choghadiya should I avoid?
Rog, Kaal and Udveg. In Leicester today they fall at Kaal 08:48–10:09, Rog 11:30–12:52, Udveg 12:52–14:13. 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 Leicester it opens with Char at 18:17.
Choghadiya in other cities
Leicester 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.
