Inauspicious timings
| Period | Time |
|---|---|
| Rahu Kaal | 11:41 AM – 12:51 PM |
| Yamaganda | 3:12 PM – 4:22 PM |
| Gulika Kaal | 9:21 AM – 10:31 AM |
Disha Shool: West. Travel in that direction is traditionally avoided on a Friday.
Auspicious timings
| Muhurat | Time | What it is |
|---|---|---|
| Abhijit Muhurta | 12:33 PM – 1:10 PM | The eighth muhurta of the day, centred on solar noon. |
| Brahma Muhurta | 6:10 AM – 7:08 AM | The fourteenth of the night’s fifteen muhurtas, ending before sunrise. |
| Nishita Muhurta | 12:22 AM – 1:20 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).
