Inauspicious timings
| Period | Time |
|---|---|
| Rahu Kaal | 10:37 AM – 12:16 PM |
| Yamaganda | 3:33 PM – 5:12 PM |
| Gulika Kaal | 7:20 AM – 8:59 AM |
Disha Shool: West. Travel in that direction is traditionally avoided on a Friday.
Auspicious timings
| Muhurat | Time | What it is |
|---|---|---|
| Abhijit Muhurta | 11:50 AM – 12:42 PM | The eighth muhurta of the day, centred on solar noon. |
| Brahma Muhurta | 4:12 AM – 4:55 AM | The fourteenth of the night’s fifteen muhurtas, ending before sunrise. |
| Nishita Muhurta | 11:55 PM – 12:38 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).
