What does the calculator show?
Abhijit Muhurta is the eighth of fifteen equal periods from local sunrise to sunset, centered on the daylight midpoint. On a twelve-hour day each period lasts forty-eight minutes. In September, a Delhi daylight span of about twelve hours and twelve minutes makes the middle period about forty-nine minutes. This tool shows the complete fifteen-part sequence so its start and end can be checked against the solar boundaries.
Drik Panchang’s Abhijit page describes this same fifteen-part method and cautions that Wednesday is not considered suitable. We still show the mathematical eighth segment on Wednesday, with that caveat visibly attached. The source also excludes some ceremonial activities; this site does not recommend a date for a marriage, initiation, or other event.
Local-clock limits
The bundled Astronomy Engine models apparent solar rising and setting for a sea-level observer with standard refraction. Elevation, terrain, atmospheric conditions, and a regional almanac’s sunrise convention can alter a published clock by minutes. The UTC offset stays fixed for the selected civil date, so check historical and daylight-saving rules before comparison. A date without both solar crossings receives no invented midday window.
