Do Ghati Muhurat
The day is divided into 2-Ghati (48-minute) windows from sunrise to sunrise.
New Delhi, India
A Ghati is a traditional Indian unit of time equal to 24 minutes — there are 60 Ghatis in a full day. "Do Ghati" (2 Ghati = 48 minutes) is the standard length of a precise Muhurat window, the same duration as the well-known Abhijit Muhurat. This table breaks the full sunrise-to-sunrise day into consecutive 48-minute windows so you can pick the most auspicious one for a specific task.
They're the traditional Vedic units of time — Ghati is roughly "hour," Pal is roughly "minute," and Vipal is roughly "second." A full sunrise-to-sunrise day equals 60 Ghatis, each Ghati equals 60 Pals (about 24 seconds each), and each Pal equals 60 Vipals. Unlike the modern clock, this system starts counting fresh at each day's sunrise rather than midnight.
They're the same LENGTH (2 Ghati = 48 minutes) but not the same WINDOW. Abhijit Muhurat is one specific, fixed 48-minute window centred on solar midday, considered universally auspicious. Do Ghati Muhurat is this page's full table of every consecutive 48-minute window across the whole day — Abhijit is effectively one particular slot within that same 48-minute grid, not a separate calculation.
Unlike this site's Rahu Kaal, Choghadiya, and Hora timings — which follow specific, well-documented classical rules — there isn't one universally agreed formula for rating every 48-minute Do-Ghati slot as best/good/neutral/bad. This page discloses that plainly rather than presenting an invented ranking as verified classical fact.
