Brahma Muhurta uses a fixed 48-minute muhurta. Navkarsi, Porsi, Sadh Porsi and Purimaddh follow the Jain pachchakkhan: a prahar is a quarter of the daytime, so it is longer in summer than in winter. Tulu-e-Aftab is the sunrise, the end of the Fajr window; follow your mosque for prayer times. How Navkarsi and Porsi are calculated · Methodology
