What Is a Muhurat?
Choosing an auspicious time
A muhurat is an auspicious window of time selected for an important activity — marriage, business launch, travel, housewarming (griha pravesh) or any major decision. Electional astrology (Muhurta) chooses the moment when the sky best supports your intention.
What goes into a good muhurat
- Tithi — the lunar day.
- Nakshatra — a favourable lunar mansion for the activity.
- Yoga & Karana — auspicious Panchang combinations.
- Avoiding inauspicious times — Rahu Kaal, Yamaganda, and others.
Navagraha ranks upcoming muhurat windows for your chosen activity and shows a live Panchang with Choghadiya, Hora, Rahu Kaal, Tarabala and Chandrabala, so you can act at the right moment.
