Choghadiya (also spelled Chogadia or Chaughadia) is a Vedic astrological system used across India to determine auspicious and inauspicious time periods throughout the day. The word comes from "Cho" (four) and "Ghadi" (a traditional unit of time equal to 24 minutes), meaning each Choghadiya period spans approximately four Ghadis.
In Palmerston North, New Zealand, Choghadiya is widely consulted before starting new ventures, signing contracts, traveling, or performing religious ceremonies.

The first Choghadiya of the day is determined by the day of the week. Each day is ruled by a different planet, which sets the starting period. This pattern repeats in a fixed cycle of 7 periods, with the 8th period repeating the first.
