Time windows
Rahu Kaal
15:32 — 16:56
Traditionally a rest hour — a good time to postpone starting new work.
Abhijit Muhurat

The clearest window around solar noon — traditionally favoured for important decisions.
Amrit choghadiya
09:56 — 11:20
The day's Amrit choghadiya slot — considered auspicious for new beginnings. (Not the nakshatra-based Amrit Kalam.)
Brahma Muhurat
04:02 — 04:53
The pre-dawn window traditionally used for reflection and quiet work.
Yamaganda
11:20 — 12:44
Traditionally avoided for beginning new work.
