[Jo Kicch Hai So Tera Waheguru]

Can someone please tell me that the 8 pehars (parts) of the day as mentioned in gurbani what are their times in the 24 hour clock.

What time is the first pehar?

I've often heard at the gurdwara during ardaas the granthi saying that the 4 pehars of the day went with your blessings and may the same be for the 4 pehars of the night.

What time is the first pehar of the night?

Bhul chuk maaf

This is what I was told once

6 AM - 9 AM peher 1
9 AM - 12 PM peher 2
12 PM - 3 PM peher 3
3 PM - 6 PM peher 4 (probably Rehras time ??)

6 PM - 9 PM peher 5
9 PM - 12 AM peher 6
12 AM - 3 AM peher 7
3 AM - 6 AM peher 8 (I think this 1 is Amritvela)

[munjoth]

i thought 4 peher was 3-6am o.O

Sometimes we divide the Pehar's into 4 Day Pehars, and 4 Night Pehars, it's easier this way to figure out what time the reference is to.

Amritvela starts in the third Night Pehar (at midnight) and extends to 6:00 am (meaning it ends before sunrise).
