Inauspicious timings
| Period | Time |
|---|---|
| Rahu Kaal | 2:49 PM – 3:58 PM |
| Yamaganda | 10:13 AM – 11:22 AM |
| Gulika Kaal | 12:31 PM – 1:40 PM |
Disha Shool: North. Travel in that direction is traditionally avoided on a Tuesday.
Auspicious timings
| Muhurat | Time | What it is |
|---|---|---|
| Abhijit Muhurta | 12:12 PM – 12:49 PM | The eighth muhurta of the day, centred on solar noon. |
| Brahma Muhurta | 5:52 AM – 6:51 AM | The fourteenth of the night’s fifteen muhurtas, ending before sunrise. |
| Nishita Muhurta | 12:02 AM – 1:00 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).
