Do Ghati Muhurat
The Vedic day is divided into 30 muhurtas of two ghatis each — fifteen from sunrise to sunset and fifteen through the night. Each has a name and presiding deity and is traditionally good or bad for beginning work. The eighth daytime muhurta is the famous Abhijit.
What is a muhurta?
A muhurta is one-fifteenth of the day or night — about 48 minutes near the equinoxes, longer by day in summer. The names (Rudra, Ahi, Mitra, Pitri, Vasu …) and their natures come from classical texts. Do Ghati muhurat is used for quick decisions when a full muhurta search is not possible.
