Guwahati follows the Assamese calendar, with the new year marked by Rongali (Bohag) Bihu in mid April.
Well-known temples: Maa Kamakhya Temple, Nilachal Hill, Umananda Temple.
The Ambubachi Mela at Kamakhya in June draws pilgrims from across India, and the three Bihus mark the agricultural year.
The best window today is 2:16 am to 3:51 am (Labh Choghadiya, clear of Rahu, Yamaganda, Gulika and Durmuhurtam).
Rahu Kalam is a period of about 90 minutes each day that Hindu tradition considers unsuitable for starting new work. It is one of eight equal parts of the daytime, and its position depends on the weekday.
They are other daily periods traditionally avoided for new beginnings. Yamaganda and Gulika are also one eighth of the daytime each, and Durmuhurtam is one or two short muhurtas that vary by weekday.
