Of the day Due to the seasonal variation of sunrise and sunset times, the exact timing and duration of Abhijit Muhurat are not fixed.

It is believed that Bhagwan Shiva killed the demon Tripurasura during Abhijit Muhurat. Moreover, Abhijit Muhurat has the blessings of Bhagwan Vishnu who destroys innumerable doshas with his Sudarshan Chakra during the Muhurat posture.
