Abhijit12:06 PM – 12:52 PM
Daylight is split into 15 muhurtas of 46 minutes each today. Abhijit is the 8th, around midday, and is traditionally considered a good time.
Rahu Kaal9:38 AM – 11:03 AM
Daylight today is 687 minutes. Split it into 8 parts of 86 minutes. On Saturday, Rahu Kaal is part 3. It’s a traditional rule, not an astronomical event. Why people avoid it
