Auspicious timings

Favourable muhurats on 21 October 2026, Ottawa
MuhuratTimeWhat it is
Abhijit Muhurta10:10 AM – 11:28 AMThe eighth muhurta of the day, centred on solar noon.
Brahma Muhurta5:40 AM – 6:34 AMThe fourteenth of the night’s fifteen muhurtas, ending before sunrise.
Nishita Muhurta12:21 AM – 1:14 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).
