Auspicious timings

Favourable muhurats on 12 August 2026, Chicago
MuhuratTimeWhat it is
Abhijit Muhurta9:28 AM – 11:12 AMThe eighth muhurta of the day, centred on solar noon.
Brahma Muhurta4:36 AM – 5:15 AMThe fourteenth of the night’s fifteen muhurtas, ending before sunrise.
Nishita Muhurta12:36 AM – 1:16 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).
