How these times are worked out
Sunrise and sunset are computed for Sydney's coordinates (33.87°S, 151.21°E), with the Sun's upper edge on the horizon. Every window on this page is counted from them, which is why Sydney's times differ from any other city's.
Each choghadiya is one-eighth of the day or night, and the order of the seven names is fixed by the weekday. Nothing here depends on your birth chart: it is the same for everyone in the city.
The page refreshes every few minutes, and the day turns over at midnight Sydney time. For another date or a place not listed, use the Choghadiya tool.
Questions people ask
Which choghadiya is good today in Sydney?
In the daytime: Amrit 6:01 AM to 7:41 AM; Shubh 9:20 AM to 11:00 AM; Labh 3:58 PM to 5:38 PM; Amrit 5:38 PM to 7:17 PM. Amrit, Shubh and Labh are the three good choghadiyas; Chal is neutral and suits travel.
What is a choghadiya?
Choghadiya splits the day (sunrise to sunset) and the night (sunset to next sunrise) into eight equal parts each. Each part takes one of seven names: Amrit, Shubh and Labh are good, Chal is neutral, and Kaal, Rog and Udveg are avoided for new work. The order depends on the weekday.
What time is Rahu Kaal in Sydney today?
On Monday, 26 October 2026, Rahu Kaal in Sydney runs from 7:41 AM to 9:20 AM (GMT+11). It is one of eight equal parts of the daytime, from sunrise (6:01 AM) to sunset (7:17 PM), and which part it takes depends on the weekday. Almanacs avoid starting anything new in it.
How long is one choghadiya?
One-eighth of the day or night. In Sydney today a daytime choghadiya lasts about 100 minutes and a night one about 80 minutes. They are 90 minutes only when day and night are equal.
Why does Sydney need its own choghadiya?
Every window here is counted from Sydney's own sunrise and sunset, which move with latitude, longitude and season. A city a few hundred kilometres away can be several minutes apart, and the end times of the tithi and nakshatra are shown in Sydney's local time.
