Inauspicious timings
| Period | Time |
|---|---|
| Rahu Kaal | 3:26 PM – 4:54 PM |
| Yamaganda | 9:34 AM – 11:02 AM |
| Gulika Kaal | 12:30 PM – 1:58 PM |
Disha Shool: North. Travel in that direction is traditionally avoided on a Tuesday.
Auspicious timings
| Muhurat | Time | What it is |
|---|---|---|
| Abhijit Muhurta | 12:07 PM – 12:54 PM | The eighth muhurta of the day, centred on solar noon. |
| Brahma Muhurta | 4:58 AM – 5:46 AM | The fourteenth of the night’s fifteen muhurtas, ending before sunrise. |
| Nishita Muhurta | 12:06 AM – 12:55 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).

Kshaya Tithi. Shukla 14 is skipped on this day — it begins at 9:54 AM and ends at 6:17 AM, 23 Dec, never touching a sunrise, so it is never any day’s Udaya Tithi.
