Auspicious timings

Favourable muhurats on 24 December 2026, Prayagraj
MuhuratTimeWhat it is
Abhijit Muhurta11:41 AM – 12:23 PMThe eighth muhurta of the day, centred on solar noon.
Brahma Muhurta4:58 AM – 5:51 AMThe fourteenth of the night’s fifteen muhurtas, ending before sunrise.
Nishita Muhurta11:35 PM – 12:29 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).

Fasts & Festivals

Purnima VratDattatreya Jayanti

These will link through to /festivals/{slug}-{year}/ once the festival inversion index exists (plan 7.7).

Kshaya Tithi. Krishna 1 is skipped on this day — it begins at 6:58 AM and ends at 3:07 AM, 25 Dec, never touching a sunrise, so it is never any day’s Udaya Tithi.
