Shubh muhurat finder

Choose the event, the dates and the city. The finder checks every hour of every day in the range against the classical rules for that event and lists the windows that pass, best first. Add your birth nakshatra and Moon sign (or a partner's) to apply Tara bala and Chandra bala too.

Ready lists for 2026, 2027 and 2028: marriage, griha pravesh, vehicle and more →

How a muhurat is found

Each day is taken from sunrise to the next sunrise, the Hindu day. It is cut into pieces wherever the tithi, nakshatra, yoga, karana or Moon sign changes, and at the edges of Rahu Kaal, Yamaganda, Gulika Kaal and Durmuhurta. A piece is kept only when the tithi, nakshatra and weekday are in the event's lists and none of the avoided conditions apply: Bhadra (Vishti karana), Vyatipata or Vaidhriti yoga, or a blocked time window. Kept pieces are joined into windows of at least 30 minutes.

For marriage, griha pravesh and mundan the finder also leaves out Kharmas (the Sun in Dhanu or Meena), Chaturmas (Ashadha shukla Ekadashi to Kartika shukla Ekadashi) and adhik maas. For marriage and griha pravesh it also leaves out days when Jupiter or Venus is combust, taken here as within 11° (Jupiter) or 10° (Venus, 8° when retrograde) of the Sun. Whole periods left out this way are listed under the results.

How windows are ranked

Every listed window already passes all the rules. The rating adds points for things that are traditionally favoured: Amrit Siddhi yoga (+3) and Sarvartha Siddhi yoga (+2), which come from the weekday and nakshatra together; overlap with Abhijit muhurta, the eighth of the fifteen day muhurtas, except on Wednesday (+1); Shukla paksha (+1); and a good Tara bala for everyone you entered (+1). Janma tara (−1) and an inauspicious yoga such as Vishkambha, Atiganda, Shula, Ganda, Vyaghata, Vajra or Parigha (−1) take points away. The chips under each window show exactly which of these apply.

Tara bala and Chandra bala

Tara bala counts from your birth nakshatra to the day's nakshatra, in groups of nine. The 3rd (Vipat), 5th (Pratyak) and 7th (Vadha) taras are avoided. Chandra bala looks at the Moon's sign counted from your natal Moon sign; the 4th, 8th and 12th are avoided. For a wedding, enter both partners.

Limits

The event lists follow commonly published versions of Muhurta Chintamani. Panchangs and family traditions differ, so open "Rules used" to see every list and change it. The finder does not check the rising sign (lagna) at the moment itself, or direction rules for travel (disha shool), which an astrologer usually adds for important events. Times are local to the city chosen. The panchang values come from the same engine as the panchang page; see the method page for the formulas.
