Inauspicious timings
| Period | Time |
|---|---|
| Rahu Kaal | 9:36 AM – 11:26 AM |
| Yamaganda | 3:05 PM – 4:55 PM |
| Gulika Kaal | 5:57 AM – 7:47 AM |
Disha Shool: East. Travel in that direction is traditionally avoided on a Saturday.
Auspicious timings
| Muhurat | Time | What it is |
|---|---|---|
| Abhijit Muhurta | 12:47 PM – 1:45 PM | The eighth muhurta of the day, centred on solar noon. |
| Brahma Muhurta | 4:38 AM – 5:15 AM | The fourteenth of the night’s fifteen muhurtas, ending before sunrise. |
| Nishita Muhurta | 12:58 AM – 1:34 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).

Kshaya Tithi. Shukla 10 is skipped on this day — it begins at 6:44 AM and ends at 5:39 AM, 20 Dec, never touching a sunrise, so it is never any day’s Udaya Tithi.
