Inauspicious timings
| Period | Time |
|---|---|
| Rahu Kaal | 10:37 AM – 12:04 PM |
| Yamaganda | 2:59 PM – 4:27 PM |
| Gulika Kaal | 7:41 AM – 9:09 AM |
Disha Shool: West. Travel in that direction is traditionally avoided on a Friday.
Auspicious timings
| Muhurat | Time | What it is |
|---|---|---|
| Abhijit Muhurta | 11:41 AM – 12:28 PM | The eighth muhurta of the day, centred on solar noon. |
| Brahma Muhurta | 4:32 AM – 5:21 AM | The fourteenth of the night’s fifteen muhurtas, ending before sunrise. |
| Nishita Muhurta | 11:40 PM – 12:29 AM (next day) | Vedic midnight — the middle of the night, which is not clock midnight. |
Amrit Kaal is not published. It needs the per-nakshatra amrit ghati table, which is a sourced traditional table rather than a derivation — an unverified version would put wrong muhurat timings on an indexed page (plan 6.4).
