Muhūrta () is a Hindu unit of time along with nimiṣa, kāṣṭhā, and kalā in the Hindu calendar.
In the Brāhmaṇas, muhūrta denotes a division of time: 1/30 of a day, or a period of 48 minutes. An alternative meaning of "moment" is also common in the Brāhmanạs. In the Rigveda muhūrta exclusively means, "moment".
