Brahmamuhurta is the 14th muhurta kala of the night. One muhurta is a period of 48 minutes, with a whole night consisting of 15 muhurtas. The time of sunrise varies each day, according to geographic location and time of year, and the time of the brahmamuhurta varies with it.
The first prahara is commonly placed at sunrise, although some sources place it at the brahma-muhurta, a period of time before sunrise (around 4.30 am when Venus can be sighted). [3] The concept of prahar originated where the lengths of the day and night were based on actual, observable sunrise and sunset.
Muhurta is a combination of the Sanskrit root words muhu (moment/immediate) and ṛta (order). The Ṛg Ved III.33.5 accordingly mentions this descriptive term. Ṛta refers to the natural, yearly order of the seasons, so muhūrta refers to the daily reflection of these. Also, cf., Śatapatha Brāhmaṇa X.4.2.18, as below.
(12–13) The Rishis, measuring time, have given particular names to particular portions. Five and ten winks of the eye make what is called a Kashtha. Thirty Kashthas make what is called a Kala. Thirty Kalas, with the tenth part of a Kala, make a Muhurta. Thirty Muhurtas make up one day and night.
When sunrise and sunset timings change accordingly muhurta timings also change. The 15 muhurtas of day and 15 muhurtas of night work independently. If sun sets at 05:50 PM on previous day and rises at 06:55 AM, then brahma muhurta shift to 05:11AM to 06:03 AM. Thus duration of each muhurta of night changes to 52 mins instead of 48 mins.
