Abhijit12:32 PM – 1:27 PM
Daylight is split into 15 muhurtas of 55 minutes each today. Abhijit is the 8th, around midday, and is traditionally considered a good time.
Rahu Kaal4:26 PM – 6:09 PM
Daylight today is 824 minutes. Split it into 8 parts of 103 minutes. On Tuesday, Rahu Kaal is part 7. It’s a traditional rule, not an astronomical event. Why people avoid it
