In New Delhi today, Abhijit Muhurta is 11:47 AM – 12:34 PM — though many traditions do not use it on a Wednesday (it overlaps Gulika Kaal, Durmuhurtam and Rahu Kaal today). Avoid Rahu Kaal, 12:11 PM – 1:40 PM. Open it for your own place.

Questions people ask
What is a shubh muhurat?
A window of time considered good for beginning something. The daily ones on this page — Brahma Muhurta before dawn, Abhijit around midday, Amrit Kalam and the good choghadiya — suit everyday beginnings. A wedding, house-warming or vehicle purchase is chosen by month, tithi, star and weekday together; the muhurat pages for those search the coming months for you.
Is Abhijit Muhurta good on every day?
It is the most widely used daily muhurat, but many traditions do not use it on Wednesdays. When in doubt, follow the practice of your family or priest.
What should I avoid today?
The windows under 'Times to avoid': Rahu Kaal, Yamagandam and Gulika Kaal (each an eighth of daylight, chosen by the weekday), Durmuhurtam (one or two short spans), and Varjyam (a part of the day's star). They are for starting something new; an activity already under way need not stop.
Why don't these times match my printed calendar?
Every one of these windows is counted from sunrise and sunset, which change with the place and the season. A printed calendar is computed for one city; these are for New Delhi. Open the home page for the times at your own place.
