Suitable days
Ruled out — and why
A day that fails is listed with the rule that failed it, never scored low and buried. If your family pandit disagrees with one of these bars, you can see exactly which one it was and overrule it.
Today, hour by hour
The eight choghadiya of the daytime, with the three barred eighths laid over them.
Computing…
What this will not do
No surgery dates, no treatment dates, and no activity for them will be added. Somebody delaying care because a screen named a Tuesday is the one outcome this feature could not be worth. That is a refusal, not a gap.
Tara Bala and Chandra Bala are measured from your own birth nakshatra, and are not applied here. What this page gives you is a general muhurta — good for the day, not fitted to the person — and it says so rather than letting you assume otherwise.
The tradition contradicts itself, and often. Rahu Kaal and the choghadiya are computed from different rules and regularly bar and recommend the same stretch of afternoon. Where that happens this page shows both and says which convention it used. Picking a side silently would make the answer look cleaner and be worth less.
The night choghadiya has a starting rule that varies by source, and no source good enough to pin it was found. Rather than guess — a guess here is indistinguishable from a result — the night is simply absent, and this paragraph is why.
The rules used
| Day division | Eight equal parts, your sunrise to your sunset. Not clock hours. |
| Rahu Kaal | The octant convention, checked against four independent published panchangs. |
| Gulika Kaal | Saturn's own day takes the first eighth; the week walks backwards from there. |
| Yamaganda | The same descending walk, anchored a weekday later and wrapping past the eighth. |
| Abhijit | The eighth of fifteen day-muhurtas, straddling local noon. Not used on a Wednesday. |
| Choghadiya | The first is ruled by the lord of the weekday; the rest follow the hora order. |
Gulika, Yamaganda and the choghadiya are each derived from their sequence rather than typed in as a table. That is deliberate. Rahu Kaal lived here as a lookup, was wrong on six of seven weekdays, and no amount of correct arithmetic around it could ever have caught the error — only a published panchang did. A rule can be checked; a table can only be compared.
