Sun & Moon
Lunar calendar
Gaborone conventionally follows the Purnimanta reckoning, so the month there is Bhadrapada.
Inauspicious timings
| Period | Time |
|---|---|
| Rahu Kaal | 7:59 AM – 9:25 AM |
| Yamaganda | 10:51 AM – 12:17 PM |
| Gulika Kaal | 1:43 PM – 3:09 PM |
Disha Shool: East. Travel in that direction is traditionally avoided on a Monday.
Auspicious timings
| Muhurat | Time | What it is |
|---|---|---|
| Abhijit Muhurta | 11:54 AM – 12:40 PM | The eighth muhurta of the day, centred on solar noon. |
| Brahma Muhurta | 4:50 AM – 5:39 AM | The fourteenth of the night’s fifteen muhurtas, ending before sunrise. |
| Nishita Muhurta | 11:52 PM – 12:41 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).
