Rahu Kaal is usually treated as a period to avoid for new beginnings. Choghadiya divides the day and night into favorable, mixed, and unfavorable periods. If a favorable Choghadiya overlaps Rahu Kaal, many people choose the next favorable Choghadiya outside Rahu Kaal.
How to use this
- First remove Rahu Kaal from your candidate start times for important new work.
- Then choose Shubha, Labha, Amrita, or Chara based on the activity.
- If all good periods are inconvenient, choose the least risky practical time and avoid rushing.
- For ceremonies, check full Panchang in addition to both systems.
