Inauspicious timings
| Period | Time |
|---|---|
| Rahu Kaal | 12:58 PM – 1:39 PM |
| Yamaganda | 10:53 AM – 11:34 AM |
| Gulika Kaal | 12:16 PM – 12:58 PM |
Disha Shool: North. Travel in that direction is traditionally avoided on a Wednesday.
Auspicious timings
| Muhurat | Time | What it is |
|---|---|---|
| Abhijit Muhurta | 11:34 AM – 12:16 PM | The eighth muhurta of the day, centred on solar noon. |
| Brahma Muhurta | 7:35 AM – 8:48 AM | The fourteenth of the night’s fifteen muhurtas, ending before sunrise. |
| Nishita Muhurta | 12:22 AM – 1:34 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).
