Sun & Moon
Lunar calendar
Doha conventionally follows the Purnimanta reckoning, so the month there is Sravana.
Inauspicious timings
| Period | Time |
|---|---|
| Rahu Kaal | 11:39 AM – 1:16 PM |
| Yamaganda | 6:47 AM – 8:24 AM |
| Gulika Kaal | 10:02 AM – 11:39 AM |
Disha Shool: North. Travel in that direction is traditionally avoided on a Wednesday.
Auspicious timings
| Muhurat | Time | What it is |
|---|---|---|
| Abhijit Muhurta | 8:24 AM – 10:02 AM | The eighth muhurta of the day, centred on solar noon. |
| Brahma Muhurta | 3:39 AM – 4:22 AM | The fourteenth of the night’s fifteen muhurtas, ending before sunrise. |
| Nishita Muhurta | 11:17 PM – 12:01 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
These will link through to /festivals/{slug}-{year}/ once the festival inversion index exists (plan 7.7).
Grahan — Solar Eclipse (Surya Grahan)
The eclipse happens below the horizon at Doha, so it is not observable here. Sutak is not observed for an eclipse that is not visible — that is the rule most sites get wrong by listing sutak on every eclipse regardless of location.
