All times are computed with the Swiss Ephemeris from each city's local sunrise and sunset, in Indian Standard Time (IST); the page refreshes automatically every day.
The night is also divided into 15 muhurtas; of the two muhurtas just before sunrise, the first — the 14th muhurta of the night — is Brahma Muhurat. It lasts one-fifteenth of the night (about 48 minutes) and begins roughly 1½ to 1¾ hours before sunrise.
Both Ayurveda and Yoga advise waking at this time — the surroundings are calm, the mind steady and memory sharp. It is considered the best time for meditation, pranayama, mantra japa, self-study and for students.
Brahma Muhurat is divided from local sunrise and the length of the preceding night. In the North-East it comes about an hour earlier than in western India — so each city's own time is given below.
Today (23 October 2026) Brahma Muhurat in Delhi is 04:45 AM – 05:36 AM (sunrise 06:27 AM).
There is no fixed clock time — it depends on sunrise. Broadly it starts about 96 minutes before sunrise and lasts till about 48 minutes before, varying with the season.
Yes — it is excellent for sandhya-vandana, japa, meditation and daily worship. Those who cannot rise then should worship at sunrise; regularity matters most.
The scriptures encourage waking at this time, but rest is given priority for the sick, the elderly and pregnant women — treat it as an opportunity, not a compulsion.
