Muhurat & Choghadiya
Kaala shuddhi — purity of time — decides half the result of any action. Enter your local sunrise and sunset and get the day divided into its eight choghadiya, with the periods to avoid marked.
Friday — ruled by Shukra (Venus). Love, art, vehicles, luxury, comforts.
Start nothing new. Ongoing work may continue.

Timings follow the classical eight-part division of the day from sunrise to sunset, so accuracy depends on the sunrise and sunset you enter for your city. For a wedding, griha pravesh or business opening, a proper muhurat also checks tithi, nakshatra, yoga and karana against your own chart.
