Muhurat 2026
Auspicious dates for every major life event — selected using Vedic tithi, nakshatra, and Rahu Kaal rules.
A muhurat is a specific time window that Vedic astrology identifies as auspicious for beginning an important activity. The calculation considers the lunar day (tithi), lunar mansion (nakshatra), weekday (vara), and planetary positions — including avoiding Rahu Kaal (the inauspicious daily period). Starting a wedding, housewarming, or business during the correct muhurat aligns the event with supportive planetary energy.

Month-by-Month Muhurat 2026
“After 15 years of Vastu and muhurat consultations, the most frequent client mistake I see is picking a muhurat date without checking it against their own birth chart. A date that is generally auspicious can be specifically inauspicious for you if it conflicts with your dasha lord or lagna. Muhurta Chintamani and Brihat Samhita both warn against this — the universal auspiciousness of a tithi must be weighed against the individual chart. Confirming this takes 20 minutes and can save years of regret.”
