The sun rises in Abu Dhabi at 05:46 and sets at 19:12 today, so each of the eight day choghadiyas lasts about 101 minutes. Being Monday, the day cycle enters at Amrit and the night cycle opens with Chal after sunset at 19:12. 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 Abu Dhabi

Every window above is one-eighth of Abu Dhabi'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 Abu Dhabi, and its full page covers Yamaganda and Gulika Kalam too.

Frequently asked questions

Which choghadiya is running now in Abu Dhabi?
Between sunrise at 05:46 and sunset at 19:12, Abu Dhabi moves through eight day choghadiyas of about 101 minutes each; the chart above marks the running window whenever you open this page.
Which choghadiya is best for travel today in Abu Dhabi?
Chal — today 14:10 to 15:50 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 07:26–09:07 in Abu Dhabi today.
When does tonight's choghadiya start in Abu Dhabi?
Tonight's chart begins at sunset, 19:12, 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 Abu Dhabi'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 Abu Dhabi's choghadiya chart valid for nearby towns?
Close enough for everyday use if the town shares Abu Dhabi'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.
