FAQ
Muhurta is the selection of an auspicious time for an important action. It combines Panchang factors such as tithi, nakshatra, weekday, yoga and karana with the purpose of the event.
A good muhurta aligns the beginning with supportive lunar, planetary and seasonal conditions. In Vedic tradition, the opening moment becomes the seed chart for the action.
For major events such as marriage, griha pravesh, surgery or a business launch, a personal muhurta is preferred because it can account for birth charts, location and exact local timing.
