Abhijit12:30 PM – 1:21 PM
Daylight is split into 15 muhurtas of 51 minutes each today. Abhijit is the 8th, around midday, and is traditionally considered a good time.
Rahu Kaal8:09 AM – 9:44 AM
Daylight today is 764 minutes. Split it into 8 parts of 96 minutes. On Monday, Rahu Kaal is part 2. It’s a traditional rule, not an astronomical event. Why people avoid it

Why times differ in London
