Periods of the day

Auspicious

  • Brāhma muhūrta 4:42 AM – 5:32 AM

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

  • Abhijit muhūrta 11:43 AM – 12:29 PM

    Held to override most inauspicious periods — but many traditions do not observe it on a Wednesday.

Inauspicious

  • Yamagaṇḍa 7:48 AM – 9:14 AM

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

  • Gulika kāla 10:40 AM – 12:06 PM

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

  • Rāhu kāla 12:06 PM – 1:32 PM

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

Cāturmāsya — in progress, 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.
