Inauspicious timings
| Period | Time |
|---|---|
| Rahu Kaal | 10:01 AM – 11:44 AM |
| Yamaganda | 3:09 PM – 4:52 PM |
| Gulika Kaal | 6:35 AM – 8:18 AM |
Disha Shool: West. Travel in that direction is traditionally avoided on a Friday.
Auspicious timings
| Muhurat | Time | What it is |
|---|---|---|
| Abhijit Muhurta | 11:16 AM – 12:11 PM | The eighth muhurta of the day, centred on solar noon. |
| Brahma Muhurta | 3:27 AM – 4:07 AM | The fourteenth of the night’s fifteen muhurtas, ending before sunrise. |
| Nishita Muhurta | 11:23 PM – 12:04 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
Sankashti Chaturthi
These will link through to /festivals/{slug}-{year}/ once the festival inversion index exists (plan 7.7).
Kshaya Tithi. Krishna 4 is skipped on this day — it begins at 6:19 AM and ends at 3:10 AM, 28 Nov, never touching a sunrise, so it is never any day’s Udaya Tithi.
