Muhurats

Auspicious muhurat dates for weddings, housewarming, property and vehicle purchase, baby ceremonies, the sacred thread, ground-breaking and puja - with shubh time windows, nakshatra and tithi.

About Muhurats

A muhurat is the most favourable span of time to begin an important Hindu ceremony or purchase. It is chosen from the five limbs of the Panchang - tithi (lunar day), nakshatra (Moon's star), vaar (weekday), yoga and karana - together with the weekday the muhurta texts prescribe for that rite. The idea is not that a date magically guarantees success, but that the ceremony starts when the sky and the calendar are traditionally considered clean and supportive.

Each page in this library is one ceremony: Vivah (marriage), Griha Pravesh, property or vehicle purchase, Godh Bharai, Namakarana, Annaprasan, Mundan, Karnavedha, Keshanta, Upanayana, Bhumi Pujan, and Akhand Path or Satyanarayan Puja. For every listed day you get the shubh muhurat window, the prevailing nakshatra and the tithi. Some lists are curated year by year; others are computed by Panchang Shuddhi from the same Lahiri sidereal data used across the site.

Times are calculated for New Delhi and shown in your local zone. The exact window shifts a little with longitude, so treat these pages as a planning guide and confirm the final muhurat with your family priest. Dates follow the Indian sunrise calendar, not the midnight civil day. If you also need the day's full almanac, open the daily Panchang.

A muhurat is a start, not a substitute for the rest of the work - matching for a wedding, legal paperwork for a house, or a doctor's advice for a pregnancy rite. Use the date lists to shortlist. Then check the ceremony's own page for the nakshatras and weekdays that page actually uses, so you can see the method, not only the highlighted days.
