Muhurat times are shown in your local time (computed for New Delhi). The auspicious window shifts a little with your exact location, so treat the times as a close guide and confirm the exact muhurat with your family priest. Dates follow the standard Indian (sunrise) calendar. These dates are selected by Panchang Shuddhi — matching the auspicious nakshatra, tithi and weekday prescribed for this ceremony — and the window shows when that nakshatra prevails during the day.

About the Keshanta (Godana / First Shave) Muhurat

Auspicious dates for Keshanta (Godana — a young man's first ceremonial shave, traditionally around the sixteenth year, marking the transition from adolescence to youth) with the shubh muhurat window, nakshatra and tithi. Timings are calculated for New Delhi.

Each entry lists an auspicious date with its shubh muhurat window, the prevailing nakshatra and tithi. A muhurat is the most favourable span of time to begin the ceremony; where a day has more than one window, any of them is suitable. Dates are shown for the current and upcoming years.
