Sun & Moon
Lunar calendar
Raleigh conventionally follows the Purnimanta reckoning, so the month there is Bhadrapada.
Inauspicious timings
| Period | Time |
|---|---|
| Rahu Kaal | 2:40 PM – 4:12 PM |
| Yamaganda | 7:03 AM – 8:34 AM |
| Gulika Kaal | 10:06 AM – 11:37 AM |
Disha Shool: South. Travel in that direction is traditionally avoided on a Thursday.
Auspicious timings
| Muhurat | Time | What it is |
|---|---|---|
| Abhijit Muhurta | 12:44 PM – 1:33 PM | The eighth muhurta of the day, centred on solar noon. |
| Brahma Muhurta | 5:25 AM – 6:12 AM | The fourteenth of the night’s fifteen muhurtas, ending before sunrise. |
| Nishita Muhurta | 12:46 AM – 1:32 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).
