Inauspicious timings
| Period | Time |
|---|---|
| Rahu Kaal | 10:36 AM – 11:44 AM |
| Yamaganda | 1:59 PM – 3:07 PM |
| Gulika Kaal | 8:21 AM – 9:29 AM |
Disha Shool: West. Travel in that direction is traditionally avoided on a Friday.
Auspicious timings
| Muhurat | Time | What it is |
|---|---|---|
| Abhijit Muhurta | 11:26 AM – 12:02 PM | The eighth muhurta of the day, centred on solar noon. |
| Brahma Muhurta | 5:09 AM – 6:09 AM | The fourteenth of the night’s fifteen muhurtas, ending before sunrise. |
| Nishita Muhurta | 11:15 PM – 12:14 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).
