Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Shubh Muhurat?
A Shubh Muhurat is an auspicious window of time chosen with the help of the Vedic Panchang so that an important act — a wedding, housewarming, naming or purchase — begins under a supportive combination of tithi, nakshatra, weekday (vaar), yoga and lagna, and clear of inauspicious periods like Rahu Kaal and Bhadra.
Why do muhurat timings differ by city?
Muhurat windows are calculated from sunrise, sunset and the Moon’s position, all of which change with longitude and latitude. A muhurat that begins at one clock time in Delhi will begin a few minutes earlier or later in Mumbai, Chennai or Kolkata — so always confirm the timing for your own city.
What are Rahu Kaal and Bhadra, and why avoid them?
Rahu Kaal is a roughly 90-minute period each day ruled by the shadow planet Rahu, considered inauspicious for starting new work. Bhadra (the Vishti karana) is a period associated with obstacles. Even within an otherwise good day, a muhurat is chosen to fall outside these windows.
What is an "abujh" muhurat?
An abujh (or swayam-siddha) muhurat is a self-auspicious day on which the whole day is considered pure without consulting an astrologer — for example Akshaya Tritiya, Vijayadashami, Gudi Padwa and Vasant Panchami. These are ideal when there is no time to compute a personal muhurat.
