Shubh Muhurat 2025

Auspicious dates for life's important beginnings

What is a Shubh Muhurat?

A shubh muhurat is the auspicious window chosen so that a new venture begins when the five limbs of the panchanga — tithi, vara (weekday), nakshatra, yoga and karana — are in harmony. Following the classical muhurta tradition (the Muhurta Chintamani, the Kalaprakasika, the Dharmasindhu and B.V. Raman's Muhurtha), each day below is scored on its nakshatra, tithi and weekday and then filtered through the standard doshas — Amavasya, the Rikta tithis (4th, 9th, 14th), Bhadra (the Vishti karana), Panchak, the five hostile yogas of the classical Panchang Shuddhi (Atiganda, Shula, Ganda, Vyatipata and Vaidhriti) and the relevant seasonal pauses. All timings are derived from the Drik (true-position) panchang for New Delhi.

Good to know

  • Dates calculated for New Delhi (IST). Timings shift slightly for other cities.
  • All five panchanga limbs are weighed together — a day is strong only when an auspicious nakshatra also falls on a benefic tithi and a gentle weekday.
  • Abhijit Muhurta — the ~48-minute window around solar noon — is treated as universally auspicious, and is highlighted as the prime slot within the griha pravesh and bhoomi pujan windows.
  • Rahu Kaal, Yamaganda and Gulika Kaal are inauspicious daily intervals; begin the actual ceremony outside these, even on a listed date.
  • Kharmas / Malmaas — when the Sun transits Sagittarius (mid-Dec→mid-Jan) or Pisces (mid-Mar→mid-Apr) — pauses marriages and major beginnings.
  • Chaturmas — from Devshayani to Prabodhini Ekadashi — pauses marriage, griha pravesh and several saMskaras.
  • During Adhik Maas (the leap lunar month) auspicious beginnings are traditionally paused, so some months may show few or no dates.

Frequently asked questions

How are these muhurat dates calculated?
Each day is scored against the five limbs of its Drik panchang — tithi, vara (weekday), nakshatra, yoga and karana — following the classical muhurta tradition — the Muhurta Chintamani, the Kalaprakasika and B.V. Raman's Muhurtha. Days carrying a dosha (Amavasya, the Rikta tithis, Bhadra or Panchak) are then removed, leaving only the auspicious dates for New Delhi.
Are the timings valid for my city?
The dates are anchored to New Delhi (IST). The auspicious day is usually the same across India, but the sunrise-based windows — and intervals like Rahu Kaal and Abhijit — shift a little by location, so check the full panchang for your own city before fixing a time.
Why do some months have no dates?
The strict rules drop the inauspicious tithis and nakshatras, and the seasonal pauses — Kharmas (Malmaas), Chaturmas and Adhik Maas — halt major beginnings entirely. A month sitting inside one of those windows can legitimately show few or no dates.
What is the Abhijit Muhurta?
Abhijit is the roughly 48-minute window around local solar noon, ruled by Lord Vishnu and considered auspicious for almost any task. The Muhurta texts treat it as a 'victory' window, and we highlight it as the prime slot within the griha pravesh and bhoomi pujan windows.
What are Bhadra, Panchak and the Rikta tithis?
These are the classical doshas we exclude. Bhadra (the Vishti karana) and Panchak (the Moon in the last five nakshatras, Dhanishta to Revati) are inauspicious periods; the Rikta tithis — the 4th, 9th and 14th of each fortnight — are the 'empty' tithis avoided for new beginnings.
Should I still consult an astrologer?
Yes. These dates are a strong, rule-based shortlist, but they are computed for a generic chart. For a wedding or any major event, confirming the muhurta against your own birth chart with an astrologer is recommended.
