Dur Muhurat timing for Ujjain, India on Friday, March 20, 2026 is calculated using traditional Vedic astronomy methods, precisely aligned with local sunrise and sunset times at your location.
Dur Muhurat, meaning "unfavorable period" or "unfavorable moment," consists of several brief inauspicious windows that occur throughout the day. Unlike Rahu Kaal, Yamaganda, and Gulika Kaal which occur once per day, Dur Muhurat appears multiple times in both daytime and nighttime.
Each Dur Muhurat period is relatively short, typically lasting about 4-8 minutes (1/10th of a muhurta), but there are usually 3-4 such periods during the day and night. These micro-periods are calculated based on specific divisions of time from sunrise and are considered unfavorable for starting any new activity, no matter how small.
Dur Muhurat is particularly relevant for quick decisions and spontaneous actions. While longer inauspicious periods like Rahu Kaal are well-known, Dur Muhurat serves as a fine-tuned filter for optimal timing throughout the day.
Dur Muhurat is mentioned in detailed panchang calculations and is considered important for precision timing in Vedic astrology. Traditional pandits and astrologers account for Dur Muhurat when providing minute-level muhurat recommendations, especially for ceremonies that must occur at precise moments.
Dur Muhurat is calculated by subdividing muhurtas (48-minute periods) into smaller units. Specific Dur Muhurat periods are identified through complex panchang calculations involving planetary positions and time divisions from sunrise and sunset.
