Inauspicious timings
| Period | Time |
|---|---|
| Rahu Kaal | 9:15 AM – 10:51 AM |
| Yamaganda | 2:03 PM – 3:40 PM |
| Gulika Kaal | 6:03 AM – 7:39 AM |
Disha Shool: East. Travel in that direction is traditionally avoided on a Saturday.
Auspicious timings
| Muhurat | Time | What it is |
|---|---|---|
| Abhijit Muhurta | 12:02 PM – 12:53 PM | The eighth muhurta of the day, centred on solar noon. |
| Brahma Muhurta | 4:30 AM – 5:14 AM | The fourteenth of the night’s fifteen muhurtas, ending before sunrise. |
| Nishita Muhurta | 12:05 AM – 12:50 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).

Kshaya Tithi. Krishna 3 is skipped on this day — it begins at 6:56 AM and ends at 3:35 AM, 27 Dec, never touching a sunrise, so it is never any day’s Udaya Tithi.
