Inauspicious timings
| Period | Time |
|---|---|
| Rahu Kaal | 1:45 PM – 3:00 PM |
| Yamaganda | 7:29 AM – 8:44 AM |
| Gulika Kaal | 9:59 AM – 11:14 AM |
Disha Shool: South. Travel in that direction is traditionally avoided on a Thursday.
Auspicious timings
| Muhurat | Time | What it is |
|---|---|---|
| Abhijit Muhurta | 12:09 PM – 12:50 PM | The eighth muhurta of the day, centred on solar noon. |
| Brahma Muhurta | 5:33 AM – 6:29 AM | The fourteenth of the night’s fifteen muhurtas, ending before sunrise. |
| Nishita Muhurta | 12:02 AM – 12:57 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).
