Inauspicious timings
| Period | Time |
|---|---|
| Rahu Kaal | 2:59 PM – 4:13 PM |
| Yamaganda | 10:04 AM – 11:18 AM |
| Gulika Kaal | 12:32 PM – 1:46 PM |
Disha Shool: North. Travel in that direction is traditionally avoided on a Tuesday.
Auspicious timings
| Muhurat | Time | What it is |
|---|---|---|
| Abhijit Muhurta | 12:12 PM – 12:51 PM | The eighth muhurta of the day, centred on solar noon. |
| Brahma Muhurta | 5:40 AM – 6:36 AM | The fourteenth of the night’s fifteen muhurtas, ending before sunrise. |
| Nishita Muhurta | 12:04 AM – 1:00 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).
