வேத காலம்

The Vedic system divides the day into 30 Muhurtas (each ~48 minutes), 8 Praharas (each ~3 hours), and further into Ghatikas (24 minutes), Palas (24 seconds), and Vipalas (0.4 seconds). Unlike the modern 24-hour clock that starts at midnight, the Vedic day begins at sunrise — Suryodaya — making every timing calculation location-specific.

Each Muhurta has a distinct quality: Brahma Muhurta (the “hour of Brahma”, ~96 minutes before sunrise) is considered the most auspicious for meditation and study. Abhijit Muhurta (midday) is universally favorable. Rahu Kaal, Yamaganda, and Gulika Kaal mark inauspicious windows based on the weekday planetary ruler.
