Brahma Muhurta is the 14th of 15 night-muhurtas counted from sunset. A muhurta = 1/30 of the day-night cycle = 48 minutes when day+night equal 24 hours. The window is anchored to the city’s real sunrise — it shifts continuously through the year with latitude and season.

Find Brahma Muhurta, the pre-sunrise time for meditation and study. Brahma Muhurta is the 48-minute pre-dawn window — approximately 96 to 48 minutes before sunrise — that the classical texts name as the most auspicious time for meditation, study, and sadhana. The exact window shifts daily with sunrise; this tool computes it live from your city's actual sunrise.
Brahma Muhurta is a 48-minute window before sunrise — roughly 96 to 48 minutes before the sun comes up — that the classical texts name as the most auspicious time for meditation, study, and sadhana (spiritual practice).
It is the 14th of the 15 night muhurtas counted from sunset, where one muhurta is 1/30th of the full day-night cycle (48 minutes when day and night are equal). The window is anchored to your city's real sunrise, so it shifts through the year with latitude and season.
