Inauspicious timings
| Period | Time |
|---|---|
| Rahu Kaal | 9:49 AM – 11:03 AM |
| Yamaganda | 1:32 PM – 2:47 PM |
| Gulika Kaal | 7:20 AM – 8:34 AM |
Disha Shool: East. Travel in that direction is traditionally avoided on a Saturday.
Auspicious timings
| Muhurat | Time | What it is |
|---|---|---|
| Abhijit Muhurta | 11:58 AM – 12:38 PM | The eighth muhurta of the day, centred on solar noon. |
| Brahma Muhurta | 5:24 AM – 6:20 AM | The fourteenth of the night’s fifteen muhurtas, ending before sunrise. |
| Nishita Muhurta | 11:50 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).
