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.
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.
Rahu Kaal is an inauspicious window of about 90 minutes each day, traditionally avoided for starting important new work.
Yes. Marriage, housewarming, business, travel and surgery each have their own rules, so the ideal nakshatra and tithi vary by purpose.

* Falls in Holashtak — many North Indian families avoid these days; the window itself is astronomically valid.
A date qualifies when the Moon occupies a classical mundan nakshatra (Ashwini, Mrigashira, Punarvasu, Pushya, Hasta, Chitra, Swati, Jyeshtha, Shravana, Dhanishta, Shatabhisha, Revati) while a favourable tithi runs. Kharmas, combustion, Chaturmas, Pitru Paksha and leap-month days are excluded — the same Swiss-Ephemeris framework as our Drik-verified vivah list.
There are 29 shubh mundan dates in 2026 for the New Delhi reference — see the month-wise list above.
