Inauspicious timings
| Period | Time |
|---|---|
| Rahu Kaal | 10:31 AM – 11:44 AM |
| Yamaganda | 2:11 PM – 3:24 PM |
| Gulika Kaal | 8:04 AM – 9:17 AM |
Disha Shool: East. Travel in that direction is traditionally avoided on a Saturday.
Auspicious timings
| Muhurat | Time | What it is |
|---|---|---|
| Abhijit Muhurta | 12:38 PM – 1:17 PM | The eighth muhurta of the day, centred on solar noon. |
| Brahma Muhurta | 6:06 AM – 7:03 AM | The fourteenth of the night’s fifteen muhurtas, ending before sunrise. |
| Nishita Muhurta | 12:29 AM – 1:25 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).

Fasts & Festivals
Masik Durgashtami
These will link through to /festivals/{slug}-{year}/ once the festival inversion index exists (plan 7.7).
Kshaya Tithi. Shukla 9 is skipped on this day — it begins at 9:13 AM and ends at 7:57 AM, 17 Jan, never touching a sunrise, so it is never any day’s Udaya Tithi.
