Amrit vela is the early-morning period many Sikhs use for Nitnem and simran, before sunrise. The listing is about ninety minutes before sunrise as a simple marker, not a single mandated minute. Gurdwaras may hold an early diwan. Follow the program of your sangat.
Rehras Sahib is the evening Nitnem, commonly recited around sunset. The listing uses sunset as the marker. Some read it at home; gurdwaras often include it in evening diwan. The exact start follows the sangat, not this clock alone.
Morning Nitnem typically includes Japji Sahib and the other morning banis appointed for daily recitation. This site lists it at sunrise as an approximate time to complete the morning portion. Individuals and families keep their own pace. A gurdwara may recite these banis as part of morning diwan at a posted hour.
Kirtan Sohila is the night Nitnem, recited before sleep. The time shown is about ninety minutes after sunset. It is a short bani compared with the morning set. Households choose a convenient hour. Gurdwara night programs are announced locally.
