Periods of the day

Auspicious

  • Brāhma muhūrta 4:58 AM – 5:52 AM

    The hour before dawn, kept for japa, study and meditation rather than for beginnings.

  • Abhijit muhūrta 11:44 AM – 12:27 PM

    Held to override most inauspicious periods; the usual fallback when no better muhūrta is available.

Inauspicious

  • Gulika kāla 6:45 AM – 8:05 AM

    Held to make what is begun in it repeat, so it is avoided for anything one would not want again.

  • Rāhu kāla 9:25 AM – 10:45 AM

    Avoided for beginnings — travel, purchases, a first recitation. Ongoing practice is not interrupted.

  • Yamagaṇḍa 1:26 PM – 2:46 PM

    Avoided for auspicious undertakings, on the same footing as rāhu kāla.

Cāturmāsya — next runs 10 Jul 2030 to 5 Nov 2030, 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.
