Auspicious timings

Favourable muhurats on 24 December 2026, Christchurch
MuhuratTimeWhat it is
Abhijit Muhurta12:58 PM – 1:59 PMThe eighth muhurta of the day, centred on solar noon.
Brahma Muhurta4:37 AM – 5:11 AMThe fourteenth of the night’s fifteen muhurtas, ending before sunrise.
Nishita Muhurta1:12 AM – 1:46 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).
