Brahma Muhurtaब्रह्ममुहूर्त

Brahma Muhurta, the “hour of Brahma,” is the pre-dawn window tradition holds to be the best of the day for study, meditation, and the first acts after waking. A muhurta is one-thirtieth of a day, about 48 minutes; Brahma Muhurta is the second-to-last muhurta before dawn.

That places it from 96 minutes before sunrise (two muhurtas) to 48 minutes before sunrise (one muhurta) — a 48-minute stretch in the last darkness before first light. Because it is defined entirely by sunrise, the window shifts day to day and place to place with the sunrise itself.

SahiKundli computes it from the exact local sunrise for the chosen location — found with the Swiss Ephemeris, the same anchor used for the rest of the panchanga — rather than from a fixed clock time, and reports its start and end in local time. It is shown alongside Abhijit Muhurta as an auspicious counterpart to the inauspicious day-parts; see Day-part timings for the full set.
