Auspicious timings

Favourable muhurats on 17 August 2026, Edinburgh
MuhuratTimeWhat it is
Abhijit Muhurta12:47 PM – 1:46 PMThe eighth muhurta of the day, centred on solar noon.
Brahma Muhurta4:35 AM – 5:11 AMThe fourteenth of the night’s fifteen muhurtas, ending before sunrise.
Nishita Muhurta12:59 AM – 1:35 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).
