Prahar
Prahar or Prahara is a Sanskrit term for a unit of time, or subdivision of the day, approximately three hours long.〔(''Monier-Williams Sanskrit-English Dictionary'' ), sv. "prahara."〕 ==Definition== The day is divided into eight parts: four ''prahara''s for the day, and four for the night. The first ''prahara'' of the day begins at sunrise, and the fourth ''prahara'' of the day ends at sunset. A second round of four ''prahara''s unfolds during the night, between sunset and sunrise. The traditional system of ''prahara''s overlaps (but does not coincide) with the more precise traditional system of muhurtas, which is based on precise astronomical calculations. Thus, the day can be regarded as divided into eight ''prahara''s (of three hours each) or thirty ''muhurta''s (of 48 minutes each). In both systems, the day commences with sunrise. The timing of the two systems coincides only at sunrise and sunset (four ''prahara''s coincide with fifteen ''muhurta''s at the twelve hour, or 720 minute, point).
