Panchang is a Vedic Hindu calendar. Showing Dina, Nakshtra, Tithi, Yoga, Karana for everyday, with automatic adjustment for any city in the world.
As per Vaastu Shastra it is advisable to perform Vaastu Puja on a particular time phase of the day to get maximum benefits of health, wealth and prosperity. One can get the appropriate time of Muhurat from the Panchang.
There are seven types of choghadiya's. Each day is divided into two time periods: daytime - the period from sunrise to sunset - and night-time - the period from sunset to sunrise. Each period contains eight Choghadiya's. To calculate the duration of each Choghadiyu, divide the respective time periods by eight. Thus, in each period any one of the seven different types of Choghadiya's will occur twice.
Example -
Day 1: Sunrise at 6:39AM and Sunset at 6:25 pm
Day 2: Sunrise at 6:41 am
The daytime period is 11 hours and 46 minutes (706 minutes).
The night-time period is 12 hours and 16 minutes (736 minutes).
Therefore, each daytime Choghadiyu lasts 706/8 = 88.25 minutes = 1 hour 28 minutes 15 seconds.
And each night-time Choghadiyu last 736/8 = 92 minutes = 1 hour 32 minutes.
To determine a good time to commence important works, check the time period between which such work can be initiated and select a favorable Choghadiyu within that specified time period.
