Auspicious timings

Favourable muhurats on 28 August 2026, Port Moresby
MuhuratTimeWhat it is
Abhijit Muhurta11:49 AM – 12:36 PMThe eighth muhurta of the day, centred on solar noon.
Brahma Muhurta4:39 AM – 5:27 AMThe fourteenth of the night’s fifteen muhurtas, ending before sunrise.
Nishita Muhurta11:48 PM – 12:37 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).

Grahan — Lunar Eclipse (Chandra Grahan)

Not visible at your location

The eclipse happens below the horizon at Port Moresby, 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.
