Inauspicious timings
| Period | Time |
|---|---|
| Rahu Kaal | 10:52 AM – 12:03 PM |
| Yamaganda | 2:25 PM – 3:36 PM |
| Gulika Kaal | 8:30 AM – 9:41 AM |
Disha Shool: West. Travel in that direction is traditionally avoided on a Friday.
Auspicious timings
| Muhurat | Time | What it is |
|---|---|---|
| Abhijit Muhurta | 11:44 AM – 12:22 PM | The eighth muhurta of the day, centred on solar noon. |
| Brahma Muhurta | 5:19 AM – 6:17 AM | The fourteenth of the night’s fifteen muhurtas, ending before sunrise. |
| Nishita Muhurta | 11:35 PM – 12:32 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).
