Auspicious timings

Favourable muhurats on 17 December 2026, Portland
MuhuratTimeWhat it is
Abhijit Muhurta11:50 AM – 12:24 PMThe eighth muhurta of the day, centred on solar noon.
Brahma Muhurta5:43 AM – 6:44 AMThe fourteenth of the night’s fifteen muhurtas, ending before sunrise.
Nishita Muhurta11:37 PM – 12:38 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).
