Find Durmuhurtham today for your city — computed live for your local sunrise and timezone, not copied from India timings.
Durmuhurtham (also written Dur Muhurtham, దుర్ముహూర్తం) is an inauspicious muhurta period that occurs once or twice each day. Starting important new activities during it is traditionally avoided.
The daytime — from sunrise to sunset — is divided into 15 equal muhurtas. Which muhurta(s) are Durmuhurtham depends on the weekday: for example Sunday the 14th muhurta, Tuesday the 4th, Wednesday the 8th, and Saturday the first two (a double-length one). Each muhurta lasts the day-length ÷ 15 (about 48 minutes for a 12-hour day), so the exact clock time shifts with your local sunrise and sunset.
| Weekday | Durmuhurtham muhurta (of 15 daytime muhurtas) |
|---|---|
| Sunday | 14th muhurta |
| Monday | 9th & 12th muhurta |
| Tuesday | 4th muhurta |
| Wednesday | 8th muhurta |
| Thursday | 6th & 12th muhurta |
| Friday | 4th & 12th muhurta |
| Saturday | 1st & 2nd muhurta (double) |
The muhurtas are counted from sunrise; each lasts (sunset − sunrise) ÷ 15. The tool above converts these to clock times for your city.
Does Durmuhurtham change by city?
Yes. It is tied to your local sunrise and sunset, so the clock time differs between, say, Hyderabad, Toronto and Sydney. Pick your city above for the correct local time.
Is Durmuhurtham good or bad?
Durmuhurtham is inauspicious — traditionally avoided for starting anything important.
