Periods of the day
Auspicious
-
Brāhma muhūrta 4:24 AM – 5:08 AM
The hour before dawn, kept for japa, study and meditation rather than for beginnings.
-
Abhijit muhūrta 11:59 AM – 12:51 PM
Held to override most inauspicious periods — but many traditions do not observe it on a Wednesday.
Inauspicious
-
Yamagaṇḍa 7:30 AM – 9:08 AM
Avoided for auspicious undertakings, on the same footing as rāhu kāla.
-
Gulika kāla 10:46 AM – 12:25 PM
Held to make what is begun in it repeat, so it is avoided for anything one would not want again.
-
Rāhu kāla 12:25 PM – 2:03 PM
Avoided for beginnings — travel, purchases, a first recitation. Ongoing practice is not interrupted.
Cāturmāsya — in progress, 7 Jul 2033 to 2 Nov 2033, 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.
