What Chogadiya is
The day is divided into eight parts between sunrise and sunset, and eight more through the night, each carrying a name. Char, Labh and Amrit are the ones traditionally chosen for beginning a journey. These are computed from the true sunrise where you are, not from a fixed clock, which is why they shift through the year and differ between cities.
Questions people ask
What is a good time to start a journey from Thrissur?+
Char, Labh and Amrit are the Chogadiya windows traditionally chosen for setting off. Today's fall at 03:13–04:44, 04:44–06:16, 07:44–09:12.
Do these windows change every day?+
Yes. They are worked out from that day's sunrise in Thrissur, so they move through the year and are different in another city — which is why this page lists a week rather than a rule.
Can I book a cab for one of these times?+
Yes. Choosing a window opens the booking form with that pickup time already set, so the trip starts inside it.
Is this the same as a Panchang?+
It is the part of the Panchang that concerns setting off. Sunrise and sunset for the day are shown alongside, since the windows are measured from them.
