In Gurbani, we hear the word Pehar many times. To understand what this means, we must understand the Pehar System. This system is used to keep track of time. Below we have broken down the system and shown how it compares to the system of hours and minutes.

1 Day = 8 Pehars = 24 hrs

1 Pehar = 8 Gharis = 3hrs

1 Ghari = 60 Pal = 22.5 minutes = 1350 secs

1 Pal = 3 Chassa = 22.5 secs

1 Chassa = 15 Visuas = 7.5 secs

1 Visua = 15 Nimakh = 0.5 secs

1 Nimakh = 0.0333 secs
