Sun & Moon
Lunar calendar
Canberra conventionally follows the Purnimanta reckoning, so the month there is Sravana.
Inauspicious timings
| Period | Time |
|---|---|
| Rahu Kaal | 1:28 PM – 2:47 PM |
| Yamaganda | 6:51 AM – 8:11 AM |
| Gulika Kaal | 9:30 AM – 10:49 AM |
Disha Shool: South. Travel in that direction is traditionally avoided on a Thursday.
Auspicious timings
| Muhurat | Time | What it is |
|---|---|---|
| Abhijit Muhurta | 11:47 AM – 12:30 PM | The eighth muhurta of the day, centred on solar noon. |
| Brahma Muhurta | 5:01 AM – 5:54 AM | The fourteenth of the night’s fifteen muhurtas, ending before sunrise. |
| Nishita Muhurta | 11:42 PM – 12:35 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).

Grahan — Solar Eclipse (Surya Grahan)
The eclipse happens below the horizon at Canberra, so it is not observable here. Sutak is not observed for an eclipse that is not visible — that is the rule most sites get wrong by listing sutak on every eclipse regardless of location.
