What is Ashubha Muhurat?
Ashubha Muhurat means an "inauspicious moment" — a window of the day that the Panchang marks as unfavourable for beginning important work. These periods are tied to your local sunrise and sunset and the weekday, so the exact timings differ from one city to another and shift through the year.
The windows to avoid
- Rahu Kalam — the daily Rahu period, an eighth of the daytime that changes each weekday. The most widely observed window to avoid for auspicious starts, travel and signings.
- Yamaganda — ruled by Yama; inauspicious for new beginnings and journeys.
- Gulika Kalam — the Gulika (Mandi) period; avoided for auspicious starts, though some use it only for repetitive, gain-oriented tasks.
- Dur Muhurtam — one or two short inauspicious daytime muhurtas; postpone important starts past them.
- Varjyam — a nakshatra-based "rejected" period, best avoided for any auspicious work.
