Daylight is split into 15 muhurtas of 44 minutes each today. Abhijit is the 8th, around midday, and is traditionally considered a good time.

Daylight today is 666 minutes. Split it into 8 parts of 83 minutes. On Tuesday, Rahu Kaal is part 7. It’s a traditional rule, not an astronomical event. Why people avoid it
