The term Choghadiya is a combination of two words — Cho, i.e. four, and Ghadiya, i.e. Ghadi. Each Ghadi, as per Hindu time, is equivalent to 24 minutes. There are 30 Ghadis from sunrise to sunset which is divided by 8. So, there are 8 Day Choghadiya Muhurats and 8 Night Choghadiya Muhurats. A Choghadiya is equivalent to 4 Ghadis (approximately 96 minutes). So, one Choghadiya lasts for about 1.5 hours.
