Testing Panchang API - Find Choghadiya API Using Postman

The Find Choghadiya API is a critical component of the Panchang API suite, offering detailed Choghadiya timings for any given day. Choghadiya, an ancient Vedic astrological method, divides the day and night into auspicious and inauspicious intervals, helping individuals to plan their activities accordingly. This API provides the start and end times of each Choghadiya period, categorized as Labh (Gain), Amrit (Nectar), Kaal (Death), Shubh (Auspicious), Rog (Disease), Udveg (Anxiety), and Char (Move), based on the provided date and geographical coordinates.
