Choghadiya in Abu Dhabi

Abu Dhabi (United Arab Emirates) has its own Choghadiya because solar altitude is local; a neighbouring city with the same clock can still differ.

Abu Dhabi sits about 4 minutes of mean solar time west of Dubai, so the sun's clock time here is typically later on Gulf Standard Time (GMT+4).

How to read this table

Day from sunrise, night from sunset

The day column is daylight cut into eight equal parts between local sunrise and sunset. The night column is the eight equal parts between sunset and the next sunrise. Each weekday begins with a different name, then the seven names cycle; night starts from a different name than day. Use the table to see which named watch covers the clock time you have in mind. The colors group Amrit, Shubh, and Labh as favorable; Rog, Kaal, and Udveg as caution; Chal as mixed. That grouping is part of the electional system, not a separate calculation.

What is Choghadiya?

Choghadiya divides daylight and night into eight periods each, timed from local sunrise and sunset. Each period is named Amrit, Shubh, Labh, Chal, Rog, Kaal, or Udveg. The weekday chooses which name begins the sequence. Amrit, Shubh, and Labh are favorable for beginnings; Rog, Kaal, and Udveg are times for caution; Chal is mixed.
