Auspicious timings

Favourable muhurats on 17 December 2026, Saint Petersburg
MuhuratTimeWhat it is
Abhijit Muhurta12:43 PM – 1:06 PMThe eighth muhurta of the day, centred on solar noon.
Brahma Muhurta7:32 AM – 8:44 AMThe fourteenth of the night’s fifteen muhurtas, ending before sunrise.
Nishita Muhurta12:19 AM – 1:31 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).
