Sun & Moon
Lunar calendar
Ho Chi Minh City conventionally follows the Amanta reckoning, so the month there is Bhadrapada.
Inauspicious timings
| Period | Time |
|---|---|
| Rahu Kaal | 10:17 AM – 11:48 AM |
| Yamaganda | 2:48 PM – 4:19 PM |
| Gulika Kaal | 7:17 AM – 8:47 AM |
Disha Shool: West. Travel in that direction is traditionally avoided on a Friday.
Auspicious timings
| Muhurat | Time | What it is |
|---|---|---|
| Abhijit Muhurta | 11:24 AM – 12:12 PM | The eighth muhurta of the day, centred on solar noon. |
| Brahma Muhurta | 4:08 AM – 4:55 AM | The fourteenth of the night’s fifteen muhurtas, ending before sunrise. |
| Nishita Muhurta | 11:24 PM – 12:11 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).
