Inauspicious timings
| Period | Time |
|---|---|
| Rahu Kaal | 11:27 AM – 12:25 PM |
| Yamaganda | 2:22 PM – 3:21 PM |
| Gulika Kaal | 9:30 AM – 10:28 AM |
Disha Shool: West. Travel in that direction is traditionally avoided on a Friday.
Auspicious timings
| Muhurat | Time | What it is |
|---|---|---|
| Abhijit Muhurta | 12:10 PM – 12:41 PM | The eighth muhurta of the day, centred on solar noon. |
| Brahma Muhurta | 6:17 AM – 7:21 AM | The fourteenth of the night’s fifteen muhurtas, ending before sunrise. |
| Nishita Muhurta | 11:54 PM – 12:58 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).
