Auspicious timings

Favourable muhurats on 12 August 2026, Sofia
MuhuratTimeWhat it is
Abhijit Muhurta10:03 AM – 11:47 AMThe eighth muhurta of the day, centred on solar noon.
Brahma Muhurta5:10 AM – 5:50 AMThe fourteenth of the night’s fifteen muhurtas, ending before sunrise.
Nishita Muhurta1:12 AM – 1:52 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).
