Why Seven Results Appear Together
The calculator places seven commonly searched timing categories on one page so a city/date selection does not have to be repeated. They do not all use the same formula, and they should not be interpreted as seven equal blocks of one day.
Rahu Kaal, Yamagandam and Gulika Kaal
These three are derived from the daylight span between sunrise and sunset. Daylight is divided into eight equal intervals, and each weekday maps the categories to different interval numbers.
Abhijit Muhurat and Brahma Muhurta
Abhijit Muhurat is a midday-related category based on a fifteen-part daylight division in this implementation. Brahma Muhurta is based on the night before the selected sunrise, so it occurs before sunrise and uses the actual night length rather than a fixed clock duration.
Dur Muhurtam and Amrit Kaal
Dur Muhurtam follows a weekday schedule that can contain one or two daytime/nighttime periods. Amrit Kaal is tied to the Moon’s nakshatra and can cross a civil-date boundary. That is why the site labels next-day times and may sometimes explain that no applicable interval is present.
Read Labels as Calendar Conventions
The words “auspicious” and “inauspicious” describe traditional calendar categories. They are not scientific predictions and do not establish what will happen if an activity takes place during a particular window.
