Daylight is split into 15 muhurtas of 50 minutes each today. Abhijit is the 8th, around midday, and is traditionally considered a good time.
Rahu Kaal9:47 AM – 11:21 AM
Daylight today is 750 minutes. Split it into 8 parts of 94 minutes. On Saturday, Rahu Kaal is part 3. It’s a traditional rule, not an astronomical event. Why people avoid it
