Auspicious windows

Shubh Muhurat (शुभ मुहूर्त)

Abhijit Muhurat (अभिजित मुहूर्त)
The one window good for almost any undertaking
11:52 AM – 12:42 PM
Brahma Muhurat (ब्रह्म मुहूर्त)
Before dawn — for meditation, study and sadhana
4:31 AM – 5:17 AM
Vijaya Muhurat (विजय मुहूर्त)
Afternoon — traditionally for setting out and for contests
2:22 PM – 3:11 PM

True midnight — Shivratri and Diwali Mahalakshmi puja
11:54 PM – 12:40 AM, 12 Sep

Abhijit is the eighth of the fifteen muhurtas between sunrise and sunset, so it is 50 minutes long today rather than a fixed 48 — it stretches and shrinks with the length of the day.

Periods to avoid

Ashubh Kaal (अशुभ काल)

Inauspicious period: Rahu Kaal (राहु काल)
Begin nothing new. About 90 minutes, and the most watched of the three.
10:44 AM – 12:17 PM
Inauspicious period: Yamaganda (यमगण्ड)
Ruled by Yama. Associated with loss and obstruction.
3:24 PM – 4:57 PM
Inauspicious period: Gulika Kaal (गुलिक काल)
Ruled by Gulika. Avoided for ceremonies, though not for all work.
7:37 AM – 9:10 AM

We do not publish Varjyam, Dur Muhurat or Godhuli Muhurat. The rules behind them are known, but the underlying tables differ between sources by enough to move a window by the better part of an hour — and these are windows whose whole purpose is telling you not to begin something. We would rather leave them out than print a number we cannot stand behind.

Hour by hour

Choghadiya (चौघड़िया)

The day and the night are each divided into eight parts. Amrit, Shubh and Labh are auspicious; Char is neutral; Udveg, Kaal and Rog are best avoided. It is the quickest check there is for whether the next hour and a half is a good time to begin something.

The night choghadiya belongs to Shukravaar, not to the next day: in the panchang the weekday changes at sunrise, not at midnight.

The Moon is in Purva Phalguni at sunrise, in its 3rd pada. A karana is half a tithi, which is why there are more of them in a day than anything else here.

Planetary hours

Hora (होरा)

Twenty-four planetary hours from sunrise, in the Chaldean order. The first is always ruled by the lord of the weekday — Venus (Shukra) today, which is what makes it Shukravaar. Day horas and night horas are not sixty minutes each; they are a twelfth of the actual day and a twelfth of the actual night.

The two masa reckonings differ through every waning fortnight, which is why a calendar from Delhi and one from Chennai can name the same day differently. Today it is Bhadrapada in the north and Shravana in the south.
