Inauspicious timings
| Period | Time |
|---|---|
| Rahu Kaal | 5:14 PM – 6:56 PM |
| Yamaganda | 12:10 PM – 1:52 PM |
| Gulika Kaal | 3:33 PM – 5:14 PM |
Disha Shool: West. Travel in that direction is traditionally avoided on a Sunday.
Auspicious timings
| Muhurat | Time | What it is |
|---|---|---|
| Abhijit Muhurta | 11:43 AM – 12:38 PM | The eighth muhurta of the day, centred on solar noon. |
| Brahma Muhurta | 3:58 AM – 4:39 AM | The fourteenth of the night’s fifteen muhurtas, ending before sunrise. |
| Nishita Muhurta | 11:50 PM – 12:31 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).
