Inauspicious timings
| Period | Time |
|---|---|
| Rahu Kaal | 10:17 AM – 11:24 AM |
| Yamaganda | 1:38 PM – 2:45 PM |
| Gulika Kaal | 8:02 AM – 9:09 AM |
Disha Shool: East. Travel in that direction is traditionally avoided on a Saturday.
Auspicious timings
| Muhurat | Time | What it is |
|---|---|---|
| Abhijit Muhurta | 12:13 PM – 12:49 PM | The eighth muhurta of the day, centred on solar noon. |
| Brahma Muhurta | 5:58 AM – 6:57 AM | The fourteenth of the night’s fifteen muhurtas, ending before sunrise. |
| Nishita Muhurta | 12:01 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).
