Abhijit11:56 AM – 12:42 PM
Daylight is split into 15 muhurtas of 46 minutes each today. Abhijit is the 8th, around midday, and is traditionally considered a good time.
Rahu Kaal1:44 PM – 3:10 PM
Daylight today is 682 minutes. Split it into 8 parts of 85 minutes. On Thursday, Rahu Kaal is part 6. It’s a traditional rule, not an astronomical event. Why people avoid it
