Auspicious timings

Favourable muhurats on 16 December 2026, Indore
MuhuratTimeWhat it is
Abhijit Muhurta9:43 AM – 11:02 AMThe eighth muhurta of the day, centred on solar noon.
Brahma Muhurta5:13 AM – 6:06 AMThe fourteenth of the night’s fifteen muhurtas, ending before sunrise.
Nishita Muhurta11:56 PM – 12:49 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).
