Calculated for the city centre in IST. Sunrise uses SunCalc; terrain and local horizons can change observed times. Moon illumination is astronomical context, not a Panchang tithi.

What the results mean

WindowConvention usedHow to interpret it
Brahma MuhurtaStarts 96 minutes and ends 48 minutes before sunrise.A common equal-48-minute convention. Other practices may differ.
Abhijit / daytime midpointOne fifteenth of daylight, centred halfway between sunrise and sunset.An astronomical window under this convention; exclusions and ceremonial suitability need a local Panchang.
Rahu KaalOne of eight daylight segments selected by weekday.Traditional timing context, not a prediction of outcomes.

The city-centre estimates do not calculate tithi, nakshatra or personal ceremony suitability. For a ritual, identify the tradition and use a location-specific almanac.

Work through the displayed conventions

Sunrise at 6:20 AM

Subtract 96 minutes for the start of this Brahma convention: 4:44 AM.

End at 5:32 AM

Subtract 48 minutes from sunrise. The example window lasts 48 minutes.

Sunset at 6 PM

Daylight is 700 minutes. Its midpoint is 12:10 PM; one fifteenth is about 46 minutes 40 seconds.

The hypothetical daytime-midpoint window is therefore about 11:47 AM–12:33 PM. Change the city or date and both the sunrise and daylight length can change. The displayed Abhijit estimate does not apply ritual exclusions or personal ceremony criteria.
