Abhijit12:42 PM – 1:36 PM
Daylight is split into 15 muhurtas of 54 minutes each today. Abhijit is the 8th, around midday, and is traditionally considered a good time.

Daylight today is 812 minutes. Split it into 8 parts of 102 minutes. On Sunday, Rahu Kaal is part 8. It’s a traditional rule, not an astronomical event. Why people avoid it
