About the Shubh Muhurat finder
A shubh muhurat is a stretch of time that tradition considers favourable for beginning something important. The finder searches the months ahead for eight occasions: marriage, griha pravesh, a business or shop opening, a vehicle, property or land, a naming ceremony, a mundan, and gold or jewellery. Each has its own rules for nakshatra, tithi and weekday, and some set aside lunar months or seasons.
Each result is a date with one or more windows, each with a start and end time and the nakshatra, tithi and yoga that qualify it. For a wedding, griha pravesh, vehicle or property, a window can run past midnight, because the Panchang day lasts until the next sunrise. Below the list, the page sets out the rules it used and the days set aside by tradition, so you can see why a date is missing.

How Taradisha works it out
- Day by day
- The finder cuts each Panchang day in the range at every change of tithi, nakshatra, yoga and karana, and keeps the stretches in which all of the occasion’s conditions hold.
- Always left out
- No window includes Rahu Kaal, Yamaganda, Vishti (Bhadra) karana or an inauspicious yoga, and none shorter than 30 minutes is listed.
- Seasons
- Depending on the occasion, Kharmas, Chaturmas, Holashtak, Pitru Paksha and Adhik maas are left out, and weddings also avoid the months when the Sun is in Cancer, Leo or Virgo. For weddings and griha pravesh, Jupiter and Venus must be visible, not within three days of setting or rising.
- Gandanta
- Wedding windows avoid nakshatra gandanta: the first quarter of Ashwini, Magha and Mula and the last quarter of Ashlesha, Jyeshtha and Revati.
- Sources
- The rules follow Muhurta Chintamani and the practice of Drik Panchang, and the full wedding lists for 2026 and 2027 were compared date by date with Drik Panchang’s for New Delhi.
Questions about Shubh Muhurat
How many dates can I see for free?
The first two dates in the range you choose, with all their windows, along with the rules used and the periods set aside. Unlocking the search shows every date in the range.
Why is a date our priest suggested not listed?
Traditions differ, and this finder is stricter than some Panchangs: it keeps Holashtak out of weddings, splits windows around Rahu Kaal and Yamaganda, and drops windows under 30 minutes. A priest may also weigh regional custom, both partners’ charts and the lagna at the chosen hour.
Which city should I search for?
The city where the ceremony is held. Sunrise, the Moon’s position and the local time all differ from place to place, and every window is worked out from them.
What are Guru Pushya and Ravi Pushya?
Days when the Moon is in Pushya nakshatra on a Thursday (Guru Pushya) or a Sunday (Ravi Pushya). Tradition holds them in high regard, especially for buying gold, and the finder marks the windows that fall on them.
Does a muhurat promise a good result?
No. A muhurat is a traditional way of choosing a favourable time, not a promise about what follows. For a wedding, the family priest usually also checks both charts and fixes the final moment.
