Sun and muhurtas
| Period | From | To | What the texts say |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sunrise | 06:02 | — | |
| Sunset | 17:51 | — | |
| Rahu kaal | 07:31 | 08:59 | An inauspicious period of about 90 minutes, its position set by the weekday. The texts advise against starting anything new in it. |
| Gulika | 13:25 | 14:53 | Saturn's sub-period; avoided for the same reasons as Rahu kaal, and regarded as more persistent in effect. |
| Yamaganda | 10:28 | 11:56 | A third inauspicious window, again fixed by weekday. |
| Abhijit | 11:33 | 12:20 | The eighth muhurta of the day, straddling local noon. Classically the most auspicious window of the day and the standard fallback when no other muhurta is available - except on Wednesdays. |
Sunrise is computed for the upper limb with atmospheric refraction — the Drik convention. Disc-centre would move every time on this page by two to four minutes, which is why the choice is stated rather than assumed.
Choghadiya
The night sequence starts at a different point in the cycle from the day one, which is why the two are tabulated separately rather than one being derived from the other.

Gowri panchangam
The Tamil reckoning divides the same eight parts of the day and names them differently. It is a separate table, not a translation - the two disagree about which part of the day is favourable.

| Uthi | 06:02 | 07:31 | neutral ordinary work |
| Soram | 07:31 | 08:59 | avoid nothing new |

| Amirdham | 16:22 | 17:51 | best anything auspicious |
Hora
Twenty-four horas from sunrise, in the Chaldean order. They are UNEQUAL - the twelve day horas divide daylight and the twelve night horas divide darkness - so a summer day hora runs longer than an hour and its night hora shorter. The first hora of any day belongs to that day's own lord, which is where the weekday names come from.
