Muhurat
the day, and the best hour in it
1040 dates across 22 kinds of work, each with the tithi and nakshatra it was chosen on, the best hour inside the day, and the three periods to keep clear of.
The next seven days
5 August 2026 · New DelhiClock times are for New Delhi. Rahu kaal, the choghadiya and every hora are fractions of the daylight where you are, so they move with sunrise. Across the country that is about half an hour. The tithi, the nakshatra and the yoga are the same everywhere in India.
What are you planning?
22 activities · 1040 dates foundEach one is scored by its own rules, because the tradition asks for different things: a griha pravesh wants a fixed lagna and thirteen particular nakshatras, a journey wants a movable one and has a direction to avoid on every weekday. The next 120 days are scanned for each, and everything at 55% or above is listed with its reasoning.

1 of themHow a day is judged
the five limbsA muhurat is not a verdict, it is five separate readings that have to agree. These are the five, and they are the same five a pandit reads off a panchang.
The lunar day. Fifteen in each paksha, and four of them — Chaturthi, Ashtami, Navami and Chaturdashi — are the rikta tithis that most work avoids.
Which of the 27 the Moon is in. This is the limb that carries most of the weight: the list of nakshatras a griha pravesh wants is not the list a marriage wants.
The weekday, and its graha. Thursday and Friday are open to most things; Tuesday and Saturday are not.
The Sun and Moon added together, in 27 divisions. Vyatipata and Vaidhriti are the two nobody starts anything under.
Half a tithi. Vishti — Bhadra — is the one that gets a day struck out even when everything else agrees.
And the hours inside it
three to avoid, one to useThe eighth of daylight that belongs to Rahu. Which eighth depends on the weekday, and because it is an eighth of the daylight it is never the same clock hour twice.
Another eighth, Yama’s. Held to be the worse of the two for travel.
Saturn’s son’s eighth. The one most people have not heard of, and the one a pandit will still check.
The exception: the eighth muhurat of the day, about 48 minutes around local noon, and good for almost anything — except on a Wednesday.
The scores come from mahurat_calculator.py, the same module the app’s own Muhurat Finder calls. This page does not work them out a second way.
Common questions
11 questionsWhy are the times different from the muhurat my pandit gave?
Most likely the city. Rahu kaal, the choghadiya and every hora are fractions of the daylight where you are, so they move with sunrise. The same Monday runs 07:25 in Delhi, 07:53 in Mumbai and 06:47 in Kolkata. Ours are Delhi’s. The tithi, the nakshatra and the yoga do not move, so if one of those disagrees, one of us is wrong.
Do I have to give my birth details?
Not for these. A muhurat read off the panchang is the same for everybody in the city, which is exactly why it can be a page. Checking it against your own kundli is the part that needs your birth details, because that uses your lagna and the dasha you are running. That is what an astrologer does.
What is Rahu kaal, really?
One eighth of the daylight, and which eighth depends on the weekday. Because it is an eighth of daylight rather than a clock hour, it is never the same time twice and never the same in two cities. People do not start anything new in it: no purchase, no journey, no signature.
Is Abhijit muhurat always good?
Almost. It is the eighth muhurat of the day, about 48 minutes around local noon, and it is the usual answer when there is no time to find a proper one. There are two exceptions: it is not taken on Wednesday, and it is not used for a journey southward.
Nothing is listed for the date I need. Now what?
Then nothing in that window scored 55% or more, which is an answer rather than a gap. Marriage and griha pravesh are the strictest and go quiet for weeks at a time, and Chaturmas alone closes four months. If the date is fixed and cannot move, the useful question is which hour inside it to use. The best hour is listed on every date.
Where do these dates come from?
From the same engine the app’s own Muhurat Finder uses. The five limbs are computed with Swiss Ephemeris, then scored against the rules printed on each page. Nothing here is typed by hand. That is why every date shows its tithi and nakshatra, so you can check it against any panchang instead of taking our word.
Is the kundli really free?
Yes, really. The kundli, the dasha timeline, yogas, doshas, rashifal, panchang and all 40+ calculators are free, with no sign-up and no daily limit. You pay only if you want a written report or a conversation with an astrologer, and both are one-time.
Do I have to make an account?
Not for anything free. The kundli, matching, rashifal, panchang and the calculators all run without one. You need an account only to hold a wallet — that is, to talk to an astrologer or buy a report — because the money and the conversation have to belong to somebody.
Why do you need my exact birth time?
Your lagna changes roughly every two hours, so being half an hour out can give you a different lagna and shift every bhava with it. Your Moon rashi, nakshatra and tithi move much more slowly, so they stay reliable even when the time is only approximate. We mark which part of your reading depends on the exact minute.
Nobody in my family remembers my birth time. Is this useless?
Not at all, and many people do not know it. Put in your best guess and tick the box that says you are not sure. You lose the lagna and the bhava positions, but you keep your Moon rashi, your nakshatra, the whole dasha timeline and the numerology. That is most of what people come here for anyway.
Kya yeh Hindi mein hai?
The astrologers, haan — all 24 of them read and answer in Hindi, and a written report comes in either language. These pages are in English for now; the Hindi ones are being written.
A good day is not the same as your good day.
Everything above is read from the panchang, which is the same for everybody in the city. An astrologer reads it against your kundli — your lagna, the dasha you are running — and that is where the two answers part.
