It is different for each day. For the day period Choghadiya or Gujarati Choghadiya the periods between morning and evening time is divided by 8.This shows the estimate of approx 90 minutes. So when added with morning time we get our first daytime choghadiya like morning time is 07:00 am totaling 90 minutes arises to 08:30 .So first day time Choghadiya jumps from 07:00 am and ends 08:30am.So it is same for the night Choghadiya. So when you are looking in set day time Choghadiya you see on the first week day i.e.Monday is the first Choghadiya that is Amrit and next Choghadiya that is Kaal. So the first one is the amrit which is the fortunate one and second one is Kaal so it not considered to the fortunate one.
