Auspicious timings

Favourable muhurats on 26 October 2026, Johannesburg
MuhuratTimeWhat it is
Abhijit Muhurta11:26 AM – 12:18 PMThe eighth muhurta of the day, centred on solar noon.
Brahma Muhurta3:55 AM – 4:39 AMThe fourteenth of the night’s fifteen muhurtas, ending before sunrise.
Nishita Muhurta11:30 PM – 12:14 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).

Fasts & Festivals

These will link through to /festivals/{slug}-{year}/ once the festival inversion index exists (plan 7.7).

Kshaya Tithi. Krishna 1 is skipped on this day — it begins at 6:11 AM and ends at 3:32 AM, 27 Oct, never touching a sunrise, so it is never any day’s Udaya Tithi.
