Inauspicious timings
| Period | Time |
|---|---|
| Rahu Kaal | 9:13 AM – 10:32 AM |
| Yamaganda | 1:09 PM – 2:27 PM |
| Gulika Kaal | 6:36 AM – 7:55 AM |
Disha Shool: East. Travel in that direction is traditionally avoided on a Saturday.
Auspicious timings
| Muhurat | Time | What it is |
|---|---|---|
| Abhijit Muhurta | 11:29 AM – 12:11 PM | The eighth muhurta of the day, centred on solar noon. |
| Brahma Muhurta | 4:45 AM – 5:38 AM | The fourteenth of the night’s fifteen muhurtas, ending before sunrise. |
| Nishita Muhurta | 11:24 PM – 12:17 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).
