A Muhurat is an auspicious window of time for undertaking an important activity — marriage, housewarming, vehicle purchase, starting a business, or major travel. It is derived from Panchang elements (tithi, nakshatra, yoga, karana, vaar) plus avoidance of inauspicious periods (Rahu Kaal, Yamaghanda, Gulika, Bhadra, Panchak).

Choghadiya is a simple 8-segment division of the day and night into good/neutral/bad windows — a quick daily reference. A full Muhurat is more rigorous: it combines tithi, nakshatra, yoga, karana, and multiple inauspicious-period exclusions for a specific event.

Yes — traditionally, major business decisions (incorporating a company, signing a long-term contract, opening a shop) use muhurat timing. The relevant windows are the same as Property or Vehicle muhurat, with extra emphasis on the weekday's ruling planet matching the business nature.
