Choghadiya Today — Pretoria
Sunday, 2026-10-11 · Pretoria, Gauteng · UTC+2
Sunrise
05:38
Sunset
18:10
Each day slot
94 min
Computed from Pretoria'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 94 minutes rather than a flat 90.

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

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

When Pretoria's clocks change
South Africa does not change its clocks, so the only thing that moves Rahu Kaal here is the Sun: sunrise in Pretoria is 06:54 at the June solstice and 05:14 at the December one, 100 minutes apart.
Why Pretoria needs its own table
Summer against winter
In Pretoria a day choghadiya runs 79 min at the June solstice and 103 min at the December one, because the day arc itself changes length. Night runs the other way: 101 min against 77 min. Any table quoting a fixed 90 is wrong in both seasons.
Against the nearest city
Johannesburg is only 54 km from Pretoria, and its sunrise today is 05:38 against Pretoria's 05:38. Every one of the sixteen slots shifts with it, which is why this is computed per city rather than per region.
Over the year, Pretoria'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 Pretoria?
Today's auspicious day slots in Pretoria are Labh (08:46–10:20), Amrit (10:20–11:54), Shubh (13:28–15:02). 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 Pretoria today the day slots run 94 minutes each and the night slots 86.
Which choghadiya should I avoid?
Rog, Kaal and Udveg. In Pretoria today they fall at Udveg 05:38–07:12, Kaal 11:54–13:28, Rog 15:02–16:36, Udveg 16:36–18:10. 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 Pretoria it opens with Shubh at 18:10.
Choghadiya in other cities
Pretoria 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.
