How Vedic Muhurtha Works
Tithi
The lunar day, determined by the angular relationship between Sun and Moon. Each ceremony has specific Tithis that are auspicious or inauspicious.
Nakshatra
The lunar mansion the Moon occupies. The 27 nakshatras each carry different energies — some ideal for beginnings, some for consolidation, some strictly avoided.
Vara
The weekday, each ruled by a planet. Wednesday (Mercury) favours communication and trade; Thursday (Jupiter) favours ceremonies of expansion and growth.
Local Sunrise
All Tithi and Nakshatra transitions are anchored to local sunrise. What is auspicious in Mumbai at 7 AM may be inauspicious in Kolkata at the same clock time.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Muhurtha in Vedic astrology?
A Muhurtha is an auspicious time window selected using Vedic astrology. It is computed by evaluating the Tithi (lunar day), Nakshatra (lunar mansion), Vara (weekday), Yoga, and Karana of a given moment against the specific requirements of a ceremony or life event.
Why does city location matter for Muhurtha?
Muhurtha timing is anchored to local sunrise, which varies significantly across India. A window that is auspicious in Chennai may fall in a different Nakshatra or Tithi in Delhi. AstroShri computes all muhurtha windows for each city's exact coordinates.
Is Muhurtha the same as Panchanga?
Panchanga is the five-limb daily almanac (Tithi, Vara, Nakshatra, Yoga, Karana). Muhurtha uses these five elements along with additional rules specific to each ceremony type to select the single best window for an important event.
How accurate are these muhurtha dates?
Our dates are computed from Swiss Ephemeris data using your city's exact latitude and longitude. The astronomical precision is high. The interpretation layer follows classical Vedic rules from BPHS and related texts. As with any muhurtha, a final check with a learned jyotishi is recommended for major ceremonies.
