Auspicious timings

Favourable muhurats on 28 August 2026, Des Moines
MuhuratTimeWhat it is
Abhijit Muhurta12:49 PM – 1:42 PMThe eighth muhurta of the day, centred on solar noon.
Brahma Muhurta5:11 AM – 5:54 AMThe fourteenth of the night’s fifteen muhurtas, ending before sunrise.
Nishita Muhurta12:54 AM – 1:37 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).
