Inauspicious timings
| Period | Time |
|---|---|
| Rahu Kaal | 2:50 PM – 3:53 PM |
| Yamaganda | 11:42 AM – 12:45 PM |
| Gulika Kaal | 1:48 PM – 2:50 PM |
Disha Shool: West. Travel in that direction is traditionally avoided on a Sunday.
Auspicious timings
| Muhurat | Time | What it is |
|---|---|---|
| Abhijit Muhurta | 11:26 AM – 11:59 AM | The eighth muhurta of the day, centred on solar noon. |
| Brahma Muhurta | 5:22 AM – 6:24 AM | The fourteenth of the night’s fifteen muhurtas, ending before sunrise. |
| Nishita Muhurta | 11:12 PM – 12:14 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).

Fasts & Festivals
Mokshada EkadashiGita Jayanti
These will link through to /festivals/{slug}-{year}/ once the festival inversion index exists (plan 7.7).
Kshaya Tithi. Shukla 12 is skipped on this day — it begins at 9:45 AM and ends at 7:06 AM, 21 Dec, never touching a sunrise, so it is never any day’s Udaya Tithi.
