Abhijit12:04 PM – 12:40 PM
Daylight is split into 15 muhurtas of 36 minutes each today. Abhijit is the 8th, around midday, and is traditionally considered a good time.
Rahu Kaal10:06 AM – 11:14 AM
Daylight today is 541 minutes. Split it into 8 parts of 68 minutes. On Saturday, Rahu Kaal is part 3. It’s a traditional rule, not an astronomical event. Why people avoid it
