*** in the muhu-rita chart below,
sunrise is
presumed to occur at 06h00m
and each muhurta equals exactly 48 minutes
the 48-minute muhurta length is strictly theoretical and indeed artificial based on 1 24-hour diva-ratri * day = 30 sections sized 48 minutes each. Every 48-minute slot is assigned a deity ruler. In actuality, evenly dividing the 24-hour day by 27 nakshatra would yield 27 periods of 0.8888/hr = 27 sections of 52.8 minutes length. to render the most accurate muhurta stop-start times for the actual location, specific location coordinates and the length of daylight from sunrise to sunset at the specific location must be calculated.
