The Choghadia is a table which is based on the relative position of the heavenly bodies (the planets and the moon) over 24 hours of the day. It is used to check the time (day or night) which is auspicious and therefore best for performing puja, starting a journey, engagements and during special festivals etc.
Typically a Priest would provide similar information. Here’s translated Choghadia into English. Lhabh, Shubh and Amrit are auspicious. Kal, Udveg and Rog are inauspicious.
