Inauspicious timings
| Period | Time |
|---|---|
| Rahu Kaal | 8:21 AM – 10:07 AM |
| Yamaganda | 11:54 AM – 1:41 PM |
| Gulika Kaal | 3:28 PM – 5:14 PM |
Disha Shool: East. Travel in that direction is traditionally avoided on a Monday.
Auspicious timings
| Muhurat | Time | What it is |
|---|---|---|
| Abhijit Muhurta | 1:12 PM – 2:09 PM | The eighth muhurta of the day, centred on solar noon. |
| Brahma Muhurta | 5:12 AM – 5:51 AM | The fourteenth of the night’s fifteen muhurtas, ending before sunrise. |
| Nishita Muhurta | 1:22 AM – 2:00 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).

Fasts & Festivals
Pradosh Vrat
These will link through to /festivals/{slug}-{year}/ once the festival inversion index exists (plan 7.7).
Kshaya Tithi. Shukla 13 is skipped on this day — it begins at 9:06 AM and ends at 5:54 AM, 22 Dec, never touching a sunrise, so it is never any day’s Udaya Tithi.
