Sun & Moon
Lunar calendar
Kaohsiung conventionally follows the Amanta reckoning, so the month there is Sravana.
Inauspicious timings
| Period | Time |
|---|---|
| Rahu Kaal | 10:26 AM – 12:00 PM |
| Yamaganda | 3:08 PM – 4:42 PM |
| Gulika Kaal | 7:18 AM – 8:52 AM |
Disha Shool: West. Travel in that direction is traditionally avoided on a Friday.
Auspicious timings
| Muhurat | Time | What it is |
|---|---|---|
| Abhijit Muhurta | 11:35 AM – 12:25 PM | The eighth muhurta of the day, centred on solar noon. |
| Brahma Muhurta | 4:09 AM – 4:55 AM | The fourteenth of the night’s fifteen muhurtas, ending before sunrise. |
| Nishita Muhurta | 11:37 PM – 12:23 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).
Grahan — Lunar Eclipse (Chandra Grahan)
The eclipse happens below the horizon at Kaohsiung, so it is not observable here. Sutak is not observed for an eclipse that is not visible — that is the rule most sites get wrong by listing sutak on every eclipse regardless of location.
| Stage | Time |
|---|---|
| Begins | 10:33 AM |
| Maximum | 12:12 PM |
| Ends | 1:52 PM |
| Type | Partial |
| Magnitude | 0.93 — 93% of the disc covered at maximum |
