Inauspicious timings
| Period | Time |
|---|---|
| Rahu Kaal | 11:08 AM – 12:55 PM |
| Yamaganda | 4:29 PM – 6:16 PM |
| Gulika Kaal | 7:34 AM – 9:21 AM |
Disha Shool: West. Travel in that direction is traditionally avoided on a Friday.
Auspicious timings
| Muhurat | Time | What it is |
|---|---|---|
| Abhijit Muhurta | 12:26 PM – 1:23 PM | The eighth muhurta of the day, centred on solar noon. |
| Brahma Muhurta | 4:26 AM – 5:04 AM | The fourteenth of the night’s fifteen muhurtas, ending before sunrise. |
| Nishita Muhurta | 12:36 AM – 1:14 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).

Kshaya Tithi. Krishna 2 is skipped on this day — it begins at 8:37 AM and ends at 4:56 AM, 26 Dec, never touching a sunrise, so it is never any day’s Udaya Tithi.
