* Falls in Holashtak — many North Indian families avoid these days; the window itself is astronomically valid.
Vasant Panchami and Vijayadashami are listed even when the nakshatra, weekday or planets would otherwise rule the day out: tradition treats both as auspicious for Aksharabhyasam in their own right.
How these dates are chosen
A date qualifies when the Moon is in Ashwini, Ardra, Punarvasu, Pushya, Hasta, Chitra, Swati, Anuradha, Shravana or Revati while Dwitiya, Tritiya, Panchami, Shashthi, Dashami, Ekadashi or Dwadashi tithi runs (either paksha), on a Monday, Wednesday, Thursday or Friday. Leap-month days, Pitru Paksha and days when Jupiter or Venus is combust are excluded. Vasant Panchami and Vijayadashami are listed regardless — both are traditionally observed for Aksharabhyasam without consulting a muhurat.
Vivah muhurat — frequently asked questions
How many Aksharabhyasam dates are there in 2028?
There are 55 Aksharabhyasam dates in 2028 for the New Delhi reference, including Vasant Panchami and Vijayadashami — see the month-wise list above.
Choosing an auspicious muhurta
A muhurta is an electional window chosen to begin something important under supportive skies. The classical method weighs the panchang — tithi, vaar, nakshatra, yoga and karana — together with the ascendant of the moment and rules specific to the activity, so a good marriage muhurta differs from a good time to start a business or buy a vehicle.
Strong muhurtas place benefic planets well, keep the Moon and lagna unafflicted, and avoid inauspicious combinations like Rahu Kaal and the wrong tithis. This finder surfaces the best upcoming windows for common purposes so you can plan around them with confidence.
Frequently Asked Questions
What makes a time auspicious?
A favourable combination of tithi, nakshatra, yoga, karana and weekday, a clean ascendant, and well-placed benefics — while avoiding malefic windows such as Rahu Kaal.
What is Rahu Kaal?
Rahu Kaal is an inauspicious window of about 90 minutes each day, traditionally avoided for starting important new work.
Are muhurtas different for each activity?
Yes. Marriage, housewarming, business, travel and surgery each have their own rules, so the ideal nakshatra and tithi vary by purpose.
