Inauspicious timings
| Period | Time |
|---|---|
| Rahu Kaal | 10:12 AM – 11:14 AM |
| Yamaganda | 1:17 PM – 2:19 PM |
| Gulika Kaal | 8:08 AM – 9:10 AM |
Disha Shool: East. Travel in that direction is traditionally avoided on a Saturday.
Auspicious timings
| Muhurat | Time | What it is |
|---|---|---|
| Abhijit Muhurta | 11:59 AM – 12:32 PM | The eighth muhurta of the day, centred on solar noon. |
| Brahma Muhurta | 5:57 AM – 6:59 AM | The fourteenth of the night’s fifteen muhurtas, ending before sunrise. |
| Nishita Muhurta | 11:44 PM – 12:46 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
Masik Durgashtami
These will link through to /festivals/{slug}-{year}/ once the festival inversion index exists (plan 7.7).
Kshaya Tithi. Shukla 9 is skipped on this day — it begins at 8:13 AM and ends at 6:57 AM, 17 Jan, never touching a sunrise, so it is never any day’s Udaya Tithi.
