morning 9.53–11.30evening 7.36–8.58

Computed for Auckland, in New Zealand time (NZDT). Rahu Kalam, Yamagandam and Kuligai from its own sunrise; Gowri Nalla Neram from its sunrise and sunset. Minute times are under Your day.

Shastra's reading

For anything new, 3.22 pm to sunset is the best of the day.

This is Purattasi, when many families do not hold weddings or griha pravesam. Daily archanai and worship need no muhurtham. For anything important, your family's jyotishi comes first.

Shastra

Your day

Computed for Auckland, to the minute. Use these minutes when fixing a muhurtham.
