Each date’s Brahma muhurta is on the morning of that date, before sunrise.

What the Brahma muhurta is and how it is counted

A muhurta is an old unit of time. By tradition the day (sunrise to sunset) has 15 muhurtas and the night (sunset to the next sunrise) 15 more; in a 12-hour night one muhurta is 48 minutes. The fourteenth of the night’s 15 muhurtas is called the Brahma muhurta (in Sanskrit, brāhma muhūrta). After it comes the last muhurta of the night, which ends at sunrise.

The count: length of the night ÷ 15 = one muhurta. The Brahma muhurta begins two muhurtas before sunrise and ends one muhurta before it. For example, New Delhi on the morning of 2 October 2026: sunset on 1 October is at 6:07 PM and sunrise on 2 October at 6:15 AM, a night of 728 minutes. 728 ÷ 15 = about 48.5 minutes per muhurta. So the Brahma muhurta is from 4:38 AM to 5:26 AM; Drik Panchang gives 4:37 to 5:26 AM that day.

The fourth chapter of the Manusmriti speaks of waking in the Brahma muhurta:

ब्राह्मे मुहूर्ते बुध्येत धर्मार्थौ चानुचिन्तयेत्।कायक्लेशांश्च तन्मूलान् वेदतत्त्वार्थमेव च॥
One should wake in the Brahma muhurta, and reflect on dharma and artha, on the bodily strain they bring, and on the true meaning of the Veda.Manusmriti 4.92

Medhatithi, the Manusmriti’s commentator, takes this time as the last of the night’s three parts. Today’s panchangs, such as Drik Panchang, give the fourteenth of the night’s 15 muhurtas as the Brahma muhurta, and that is the time on this page.

By tradition this is a time for waking, japa, meditation and puja. The baths of Kartik and Magh and the Ganga Snan are also taken before sunrise, in the Brahma muhurta, by tradition. Ganga Snan dates 2026-27

Brahma muhurta: questions and answers

What time is the Brahma muhurta today in Bhubaneswar?

On Wednesday, 7 October 2026 the Brahma muhurta in Bhubaneswar is from 4:02 AM to 4:51 AM. Sunrise that day is at 5:39 AM, and the Brahma muhurta ends 48 minutes before it.

What time is the Brahma muhurta tomorrow in Bhubaneswar?

Tomorrow, Thursday, 8 October 2026, the Brahma muhurta in Bhubaneswar is from 4:02 AM to 4:51 AM, and sunrise is at 5:39 AM. The next 15 days are in the table above.

How is the Brahma muhurta worked out?

The night from sunset to the next sunrise is divided into 15 equal parts (muhurtas). The fourteenth is the Brahma muhurta: it begins two muhurtas before sunrise and ends one muhurta before it. In a night of exactly 12 hours that is from 96 to 48 minutes before sunrise; in long nights it begins a little earlier, in short nights a little later. This is the traditional reckoning, and Drik Panchang gives it the same way.

How long is the Brahma muhurta?

One muhurta: a fifteenth of the night (sunset to the next sunrise). In a 12-hour night that is 48 minutes. On Wednesday, 7 October 2026 the night in Bhubaneswar lasts 12 hr 8 min, so the Brahma muhurta is about 49 minutes long. In New Delhi it is about 55 minutes in the long night of 21 December and about 40 minutes in the short night of 21 June.

Is the Brahma muhurta always at 4 am?

No. The Brahma muhurta is tied to sunrise, not to a fixed clock time, so it moves with the season and the city. In New Delhi it begins at 4:04 AM on 21 June 2027 and at 5:20 AM on 21 December 2026 (checked against Drik Panchang).

Is the Brahma muhurta different in each city?

Yes, because it is counted from each city’s own sunrise and sunset. On Wednesday, 7 October 2026 the Brahma muhurta is 4:02–4:51 AM in Bhubaneswar and 4:53–5:42 AM in Mumbai. The sun rises earlier in eastern cities, so the Brahma muhurta comes earlier there too.

What is done in the Brahma muhurta?

The Manusmriti (4.92) says one should wake in the Brahma muhurta and reflect on dharma and artha, on the bodily effort they call for, and on the true meaning of the Veda. By tradition it is a time for waking, japa, meditation and puja; Drik Panchang too describes it as the time to wake and do the first puja of the day. The Kartik and Magh baths and the Ganga Snan are also taken before sunrise, in the Brahma muhurta, by tradition.

How accurate are these times?

The times come from the sunrise and sunset of Bhubaneswar (20.30° N, 85.82° E), in Indian Standard Time; sunrise is when the upper edge of the sun appears on an open horizon. Checked against Drik Panchang for New Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata and Chennai on five dates (October 2026 to June 2027), the Brahma muhurta and sunrise agree within a minute.
