The good choghadiyas (Amrit, Shubh, Labh and Char) of the day and night of Sunday, 8 November 2026 while Amavasya lasts are below, grouped into morning, afternoon, evening, night and early-morning muhurats the way Drik Panchang gives them. In Gujarat the Diwali Lakshmi Puja is also called Chopda Puja, the worship of new account books; Drik Panchang says it is done in Rajasthan and Maharashtra too, and the choghadiya muhurat is used for it. For Lakshmi Puja at home Drik Panchang advises the Pradosh Kaal muhurat with a fixed (Vrishabha) lagna, given above, rather than the choghadiya.
