Choghadiya Today — Ottawa
Monday, 2026-10-12 · Ottawa, Ontario · UTC−4
Sunrise
07:17
Sunset
18:23
Each day slot
83 min
Computed from Ottawa'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 83 minutes rather than a flat 90.

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

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

When Ottawa's clocks change
Ottawa moves from UTC−4 to UTC−5 on 2026-11-01. The choghadiya follow the Sun, not the clock, so every slot keeps its place in the day while its clock time jumps: on 2026-11-01 sunrise, where the first day choghadiya begins, reads 06:44 on the new clock and would have read 07:44 on the old one.
Why Ottawa needs its own table
Summer against winter
In Ottawa a day choghadiya runs 117 min at the June solstice and 65 min at the December one, because the day arc itself changes length. Night runs the other way: 63 min against 115 min. Any table quoting a fixed 90 is wrong in both seasons.
Against the nearest city
Montreal is only 166 km from Ottawa, and its sunrise today is 07:08 against Ottawa's 07:17. Every one of the sixteen slots shifts with it, which is why this is computed per city rather than per region.
Over the year, Ottawa's solar arc moves enough to swing an eighth of the day by 52 minutes end to end.
Frequently asked
What is the shubh choghadiya today in Ottawa?
Today's auspicious day slots in Ottawa are Amrit (07:17–08:40), Shubh (10:03–11:27), Labh (15:36–17:00), Amrit (17:00–18:23). 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 Ottawa today the day slots run 83 minutes each and the night slots 97.
Which choghadiya should I avoid?
Rog, Kaal and Udveg. In Ottawa today they fall at Kaal 08:40–10:03, Rog 11:27–12:50, Udveg 12:50–14:13. 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 Ottawa it opens with Char at 18:23.
Choghadiya in other cities
Ottawa 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.
