Inauspicious timings
| Period | Time |
|---|---|
| Rahu Kaal | 1:00 PM – 2:06 PM |
| Yamaganda | 4:17 PM – 5:22 PM |
| Gulika Kaal | 10:49 AM – 11:55 AM |
Disha Shool: West. Travel in that direction is traditionally avoided on a Friday.
Auspicious timings
| Muhurat | Time | What it is |
|---|---|---|
| Abhijit Muhurta | 1:49 PM – 2:23 PM | The eighth muhurta of the day, centred on solar noon. |
| Brahma Muhurta | 7:38 AM – 8:38 AM | The fourteenth of the night’s fifteen muhurtas, ending before sunrise. |
| Nishita Muhurta | 1:36 AM – 2:36 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).
