How this site calculates it

Daytime and night are each divided into eight equal parts. The day sequence starts with the weekday lord's choghadiya and advances one step in the order Udveg (Sun), Char (Venus), Labh (Mercury), Amrit (Moon), Kaal (Saturn), Shubh (Jupiter), Rog (Mars); the night sequence starts five steps after it and advances five steps each period.
