Inauspicious timings
| Period | Time |
|---|---|
| Rahu Kaal | 12:07 PM – 1:03 PM |
| Yamaganda | 2:56 PM – 3:52 PM |
| Gulika Kaal | 10:15 AM – 11:11 AM |
Disha Shool: West. Travel in that direction is traditionally avoided on a Friday.
Auspicious timings
| Muhurat | Time | What it is |
|---|---|---|
| Abhijit Muhurta | 12:48 PM – 1:18 PM | The eighth muhurta of the day, centred on solar noon. |
| Brahma Muhurta | 7:01 AM – 8:06 AM | The fourteenth of the night’s fifteen muhurtas, ending before sunrise. |
| Nishita Muhurta | 12:31 AM – 1:36 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).
