Reading the table
The day in Kathmandu — 11 h 22 m from sunrise to sunset — is cut into eight equal choghadiyas, and the night into eight more, so each lasts about an hour and a half and the exact length changes with the season. Amrit, Shubh and Labh are held auspicious, Char suits travel, and Udveg, Kaal and Rog are avoided for new beginnings. The Tuesday day opens on Rog, the choghadiya of the weekday's lord.
