Every window on this page is a fraction of the day span (sunrise to sunset) or the night span (sunset to the next sunrise), so the times move a little every day and differ from city to city.

The sun rises in Melbourne at 06:29 and sets at 19:41 today, so each of the eight day choghadiyas lasts about 99 minutes. Being Monday, the day cycle enters at Amrit and the night cycle opens with Chal after sunset at 19:41. The night chart runs until the next sunrise, so its late windows carry past midnight into tomorrow's early hours — those times are marked +1 in the table.

How the choghadiya chart works in Melbourne

Every window above is one-eighth of Melbourne's actual day or night, cut from today's real sunrise and sunset — not from a fixed 06:00 to 18:00 template. That is why the same weekday shows different times here than in another city, and different times here next month.

Use the chart at the moment of starting: pick Amrit, Shubh or Labh for important beginnings, Chal for setting out, and let routine work run through whatever window is passing. The current window is marked live whenever you open this page.

A favourable choghadiya can still overlap the day's Rahu Kalam, which follows a different rule — the one-line strip below shows today's Rahu Kalam for Melbourne, and its full page covers Yamaganda and Gulika Kalam too.

Frequently asked questions

Which choghadiya is running now in Melbourne?
Right now Melbourne is in the Chal choghadiya (Neutral), which lasts until 21:02. The chart above shows every remaining window of the day and night.
Which choghadiya is best for travel today in Melbourne?
Chal — today 14:44 to 16:23 in the day chart — is the classical travel window, and Amrit, Shubh and Labh serve just as well. Keep the departure clear of Rahu Kalam, which runs 08:08–09:47 in Melbourne today.
When does tonight's choghadiya start in Melbourne?
Tonight's chart begins at sunset, 19:41, with Chal, and runs in eight windows until the next sunrise. Windows after midnight are marked +1 — they belong to tonight's chart even though the clock date has changed.
Why do the choghadiya timings change every day?
Because Melbourne's sunrise and sunset move a little every day, and the windows are cut from that span. The sequence of names repeats weekly, but the clock times never repeat exactly.
Is Melbourne's choghadiya chart valid for nearby towns?
Close enough for everyday use if the town shares Melbourne's longitude and horizon — a few minutes' difference at most. For exact times, or for towns further out, use a chart computed for that place's own coordinates.
