Good times today

Char 13:16 – 14:35
Labh 14:35 – 15:54
Amrit 15:54 – 17:13

These are the windows that are favourable and not overlapped by anything inauspicious.

The whole day, in order

06:40 Amrit Choghadiya · until 07:59
06:40 Rahu kaal Inauspicious · until 07:59
07:59 Kaal Choghadiya · until 09:18
09:18 Shubh Choghadiya · until 10:37
09:18 Yamaganda Inauspicious · until 10:37
10:37 Rog Choghadiya · until 11:57
11:33 Abhijit muhurta Auspicious · until 12:21
11:57 Udveg Choghadiya · until 13:16
11:57 Gulika Inauspicious · until 13:16
13:16 Char Choghadiya · until 14:35
14:35 Labh Choghadiya · until 15:54
15:54 Amrit Choghadiya · until 17:13

Windows overlap — abhijit can fall inside rahu kaal. Both are shown rather than one quietly winning.

Calculated for Varanasi — sidereal, Lahiri ayanamsa. Rahu kaal, choghadiya and hora divide sunrise to sunset, so they differ by place. A panchang fixed to one clock time is wrong everywhere but where it was written.
