Abhijit11:48 AM – 12:20 PM
Daylight is split into 15 muhurtas of 32 minutes each today. Abhijit is the 8th, around midday, and is traditionally considered a good time.
Rahu Kaal11:04 AM – 12:04 PM
Daylight today is 477 minutes. Split it into 8 parts of 60 minutes. On Friday, Rahu Kaal is part 4. It’s a traditional rule, not an astronomical event. Why people avoid it

Why times differ in London
