Auspicious timings

Favourable muhurats on 20 December 2026, Kolkata
MuhuratTimeWhat it is
Abhijit Muhurta11:13 AM – 11:55 AMThe eighth muhurta of the day, centred on solar noon.
Brahma Muhurta4:25 AM – 5:18 AMThe fourteenth of the night’s fifteen muhurtas, ending before sunrise.
Nishita Muhurta11:08 PM – 12:01 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).
