Inauspicious timings
| Period | Time |
|---|---|
| Rahu Kaal | 1:30 PM – 2:38 PM |
| Yamaganda | 7:46 AM – 8:55 AM |
| Gulika Kaal | 10:04 AM – 11:12 AM |
Disha Shool: South. Travel in that direction is traditionally avoided on a Thursday.
Auspicious timings
| Muhurat | Time | What it is |
|---|---|---|
| Abhijit Muhurta | 12:03 PM – 12:39 PM | The eighth muhurta of the day, centred on solar noon. |
| Brahma Muhurta | 5:43 AM – 6:42 AM | The fourteenth of the night’s fifteen muhurtas, ending before sunrise. |
| Nishita Muhurta | 11:51 PM – 12:50 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).
