Nazhika Convertor Traditional astrologers
measure time in terms of Nazhika and Vinazhika with reference
to sunrise or sunset. In North India Nazhika is called
Ghati and Vinazhika is Vighati.
The Nazhika to Hour converter helps to find out the precise
hour corresponding to the nazhika. Enter the Nazhika and
Vinazhika values in the boxes provided below. Check the
relevant radio box to mention the time with reference
to Sun. Please ensure that the time of sunrise given is
accurate. Then the text box will provide the equivalent
hour value of the nazhika.
For example an astrologer may write in the horoscope that
"X was born 15 nazhika and 25 vinazhika after sunrise".
A day is divided into 60 nazhika during which time the earth
rotates by 360 degrees. This means that a nazhika is the
time taken by earth to rotate by 6 degrees. As one nazhika
is divided into 60 vinazhika, a day has 3600 vinazhikas.
Conversion of time from nazhika system to standard time
is straight forward since one nazhika equal 24 minutes and
one vinazhika 24 seconds. However, certain complications
arise since the reference may be made to before or after
Sunrise and since the time may move over to the next day
or go back to the previous day as per standard time conventions.
