Inauspicious timings
| Period | Time |
|---|---|
| Rahu Kaal | 9:41 AM – 10:49 AM |
| Yamaganda | 11:58 AM – 1:06 PM |
| Gulika Kaal | 2:14 PM – 3:22 PM |
Disha Shool: East. Travel in that direction is traditionally avoided on a Monday.
Auspicious timings
| Muhurat | Time | What it is |
|---|---|---|
| Abhijit Muhurta | 12:47 PM – 1:24 PM | The eighth muhurta of the day, centred on solar noon. |
| Brahma Muhurta | 6:30 AM – 7:29 AM | The fourteenth of the night’s fifteen muhurtas, ending before sunrise. |
| Nishita Muhurta | 12:36 AM – 1:35 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).
