Periods of the day
Auspicious
-
Brāhma muhūrta 5:24 AM – 6:17 AM
The hour before dawn, kept for japa, study and meditation rather than for beginnings.
-
Abhijit muhūrta 12:12 PM – 12:56 PM
Held to override most inauspicious periods; the usual fallback when no better muhūrta is available.
Inauspicious
-
Yamagaṇḍa 9:52 AM – 11:13 AM
Avoided for auspicious undertakings, on the same footing as rāhu kāla.
-
Gulika kāla 12:34 PM – 1:55 PM
Held to make what is begun in it repeat, so it is avoided for anything one would not want again.
-
Rāhu kāla 3:16 PM – 4:37 PM
Avoided for beginnings — travel, purchases, a first recitation. Ongoing practice is not interrupted.
Cāturmāsya — next runs 21 Jul 2029 to 15 Nov 2029, 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.
