Generally, a day is divided into 8 parts of 1 hrs & 30 mins. each. The first part starting with the Sun Rise on that day and last part ending on Sun Set on that day approximately for the Day Times. Similarly, there are 8 parts starting with Sun Set of current day and ending till Sun Rise Next Day. There are 7 types/grades of time periods of which four are auspicious (Amrit, Subh, Labh, Chanchal) and three are inauspicious (Rog / Kal / Udwegh). Indian Astrologers suggest that works that are undertaken in the auspecious periods generally have a positive effect on the result and those done in the inauspecious period have a negative effect on the result. However, the outcome is also dependent on several other factors. The Chogadia for today as per Indian Standard Time at 5:30 am in India is as follows:
