Choghadiyais an Indian astrology based Muhurat or auspicious time guide. In Vedic astrology, time and space/energy are two important things that rule every particle in the microcosmos. The time factor highly influences the very experience of life, success, and other happier incidents. Some periods are beneficial, and some as malefic. Choghadiya speaks about these time periods and their attributes. While Panchang talks about intricate details about the spiritual bodies in the cosmic space, Choghadiya shows the simple surface-level picture of time periods and their association with planets for a given day.
