Periods of the day
Auspicious
-
Brāhma muhūrta 4:40 AM – 5:29 AM
The hour before dawn, kept for japa, study and meditation rather than for beginnings.
-
Abhijit muhūrta 11:44 AM – 12:31 PM
Held to override most inauspicious periods; the usual fallback when no better muhūrta is available.
Inauspicious
-
Gulika kāla 6:18 AM – 7:46 AM
Held to make what is begun in it repeat, so it is avoided for anything one would not want again.
-
Rāhu kāla 9:13 AM – 10:40 AM
Avoided for beginnings — travel, purchases, a first recitation. Ongoing practice is not interrupted.
-
Yamagaṇḍa 1:35 PM – 3:02 PM
Avoided for auspicious undertakings, on the same footing as rāhu kāla.
Cāturmāsya — in progress, 24 Jul 2026 to 20 Nov 2026, from Devaśayanī Ekādaśī in Āṣāḍha to Prabodhinī Ekādaśī in Kārtika.
The choghaḍiyā and the periods above are marked customary: they are widely kept practice, and no text this site publishes prescribes them yet. The aṅgas, sunrise and sunset are computed and exact.
Computed with dṛk gaṇita (observation-based) and the Lahiri (Citrāpakṣa) ayanāṁśa, from the Swiss Ephemeris. The day's aṅgas are those running at sunrise. How dates are computed.
