What the muhurat is for

and how the day is kept

The muhurat is for the opening itself: the shutter raised, the lamp lit and the first sale, the bohni, made inside the window. Many shopkeepers hold a Ganesh and Lakshmi puja first, draw a swastik and write shubh-labh at the door, and open the account book (bahi-khata) in the same hour. A firm’s registration or its first invoice can be timed the same way.

What the panchang asks for

Shop opening
Nakshatras
  • Ashwini, Rohini, Mrigashira, Pushya, Uttara Phalguni, Hasta, Chitra, Anuradha, Uttara Ashadha, Uttara Bhadrapada, Revati
Tithis
  • Shukla: Dwitiya, Tritiya, Panchami, Shashthi, Saptami, Ashtami, Dashami, Ekadashi, Dwadashi, Trayodashi, Purnima
  • Krishna: Pratipada, Dwitiya, Tritiya, Panchami, Shashthi, Saptami, Ashtami, Dashami, Ekadashi, Dwadashi, Trayodashi
Weekdays
  • Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday

These are the rules the standard panchangs apply for this work; they go back to the classical muhurat texts, Muhurta Chintamani above all.

Muhurta Chintamani sorts the 27 nakshatras by nature: fixed (dhruva), for what is meant to last; swift (kshipra), for trade, learning and quick starts; soft (mridu), for gentle things such as friendship and music. This work takes the fixed ones (Rohini, Uttara Phalguni, Uttara Ashadha, Uttara Bhadrapada), the swift ones (Ashwini, Pushya, Hasta) and the soft ones (Mrigashira, Chitra, Anuradha, Revati). It leaves out the rikta (“empty”) tithis, Chaturthi, Navami and Chaturdashi, which are kept clear of beginnings, and Amavasya, the dark night. Its table also leaves out Shukla Pratipada, which it does not count among this work’s tithis. Tuesday is Mangal’s day, and Mangal is a krura (harsh) graha: that day is left out.

All the rules for starting a business: the months it is done in, the closed seasons and the hour
