Abhijit Muhurta

About 48 minutes around local midday: the most favourable window of the day, chosen for starting important things.

Abhijit Muhurta

Definition

The day from sunrise to sunset is divided into 15 muhurtas. The 8th, centred on local noon, is Abhijit ("victorious"). It is said to neutralise many other doshas, which is why it is a fallback when no other good time is available.

Exceptions

By tradition it is not observed on Wednesday. When it overlaps Rahu Kaal, use only the part outside it. The Panchang handles both automatically.
