Inauspicious timings
| Period | Time |
|---|---|
| Rahu Kaal | 3:58 PM – 5:05 PM |
| Yamaganda | 12:35 PM – 1:43 PM |
| Gulika Kaal | 2:50 PM – 3:58 PM |
Disha Shool: West. Travel in that direction is traditionally avoided on a Sunday.
Auspicious timings
| Muhurat | Time | What it is |
|---|---|---|
| Abhijit Muhurta | 12:17 PM – 12:53 PM | The eighth muhurta of the day, centred on solar noon. |
| Brahma Muhurta | 6:01 AM – 7:00 AM | The fourteenth of the night’s fifteen muhurtas, ending before sunrise. |
| Nishita Muhurta | 12:05 AM – 1:05 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).

Fasts & Festivals
Pradosh Vrat
These will link through to /festivals/{slug}-{year}/ once the festival inversion index exists (plan 7.7).
Kshaya Tithi. Krishna 13 is skipped on this day — it begins at 8:34 AM and ends at 5:00 AM, 13 Jul, never touching a sunrise, so it is never any day’s Udaya Tithi.
