Generate a full chart for dasha-personalized results →Muhurta (electional astrology) is the branch of Jyotish Shastra dedicated to selecting the most favourable moment for initiating important actions. The foundational principle is simple yet profound: time is not neutral. The Vedic tradition holds that Kaal (Time) is the supreme force – every moment carries a unique energetic signature shaped by the positions of the Sun, Moon, and planets. A marriage begun under an auspicious muhurta inherits the cosmic support of that moment; a business launched during Vishti Karana or Rahu Kaal inherits their obstruction.
A muhurta is evaluated through five simultaneous lenses, collectively called Panchanga Shuddhi. Tithi (lunar day) – each of the 30 tithis per month has a ruling deity and intrinsic quality. Nanda tithis (1, 6, 11) favour joyful occasions; Bhadra tithis (2, 7, 12) suit prosperity-oriented acts. Nakshatra (lunar mansion) – the 27 nakshatras are classified as Fixed, Movable, Sharp, Soft, or Mixed, each suited to different activities. Deva nakshatras like Pushya and Revati are universally auspicious. Yoga – the 27 nitya yogas arise from the combined longitude of Sun and Moon. Siddhi, Amrita, and Shubha yogas amplify success; Vyatipata and Vaidhriti are avoided. Karana (half-tithi) – 11 karanas rotate through each lunar month. Vishti (Bhadra) karana is universally inauspicious. Vara (weekday) – each day is ruled by a graha. Thursday (Guru) and Friday (Shukra) are broadly favourable; Saturday and Tuesday require careful evaluation.
The primary texts for muhurta selection are the Muhurta Chintamani by Rama Daivagya and the Muhurta Martanda by Narayana Daivagya. These 16th-17th century treatises codify rules from earlier sources including the Brihat Samhita of Varahamihira and the Kalaprakashika. They define specific conditions for each type of activity – marriage requires a fixed nakshatra on a Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, or Friday with Shukla Paksha tithi, for instance – and enumerate hundreds of special yogas (Sarvartha Siddhi, Amrita Siddhi, Ravi Yoga) that enhance or diminish a window.
Our engine applies 36 discrete rules sourced from 7 classical texts: Muhurta Chintamani (MC), Dharma Sindhu, BPHS, Brihat Samhita, Prashna Marga, B.V. Raman's Muhurtha, and Kalaprakashika. Rules are organised into a 5-tier authority system: (1) Absolute vetoes – Venus/Jupiter combustion, Adhika Masa, Chaturmas with exact Devshayani→Prabodhini Ekadashi boundaries; (2) Override rules – Godhuli Lagna (sunset ±24 min) overrides all defects for marriage per Brihat Samhita Ch.103, and Venus/Mercury/Jupiter in the ascendant cancels all other flaws per MC Ch.7; (3) Major factors – nakshatra suitability, tithi-vara alignment, 8th house vacancy; (4) Standard scoring – yoga, karana, hora lord, choghadiya; (5) Cancellable factors – weak karana or minor dosha that a strong lagna compensates. This is classical cancellation logic, not additive scoring: a powerful lagna genuinely removes defects rather than merely offsetting them numerically. When birth data is provided, the engine adds personalised dimensions: Tara Bala (nakshatra compatibility), Chandra Bala (Moon transit strength), and Dasha Harmony (current Vimshottari period alignment). Each scored window shows pandit-style reasoning with chapter-level citations.
A well-chosen muhurta requires both the presence of auspicious factors and the verified absence of inauspicious periods. The engine detects: Dur Muhurtam (the 48-minute daily window that shifts by weekday), Varjyam (nakshatra-specific inauspicious ghatis), Tithi-Gandanthara (junctional tithis at paksha boundaries), Rahu Kaal and Yamaghanda, Vishti Karana (Bhadra), Panchaka dosha (Moon in nakshatras 23-27), Venus/Jupiter combustion with BPHS-standard orbs (Venus 10°, 8° retrograde; Jupiter 11°), exact Chaturmas boundaries computed from real Devshayani and Prabodhini Ekadashi dates (not month approximations), and 8th house vacancy check for marriage. Unlike binary pass/fail systems, our engine grades windows 0-100 with differentiated reasoning – a window during Rahu Kaal with perfect lagna and excellent nakshatra will score differently from one with multiple minor flaws, because the cancellation hierarchy (MC Ch.7: "strong lagna removes all defects") genuinely elevates certain combinations above their individual components.
हमारा स्कोरिंग इंजन 7 प्रामाणिक ग्रन्थों से 36 विशिष्ट नियमों पर आधारित है: मुहूर्त चिन्तामणि (अध्याय 6-7), धर्मसिन्धु, BPHS, बृहत् संहिता (अध्याय 103), प्रश्न मार्ग, बी.वी. रमन की मुहूर्थ, और कालप्रकाशिका। प्रत्येक नियम एक विशिष्ट अध्याय या श्लोक से जुड़ा है।
यह बाइनरी हाँ/नहीं प्रणाली नहीं है। कठोर निषेधों (स्तर 1) को पार करने के बाद, शेष दिनों को 5-स्तरीय प्राधिकार क्रम से स्कोर किया जाता है। अधिभावी नियम (स्तर 2) – गोधूलि लग्न (सूर्यास्त ±24 मिनट, बृहत् संहिता अध्याय 103) या लग्न में शुक्र/बुध/गुरु (MC अध्याय 7) – सभी निचले दोषों को वास्तव में निवारित करते हैं। प्रमुख कारक (स्तर 3) में नक्षत्र, तिथि-वार, अष्टम भाव शून्यता। सामान्य (स्तर 4) में योग, करण, होरा, चौघड़िया। निवारणीय (स्तर 5) – दुर्बल करण जिसे बलवान लग्न क्षतिपूर्ति करता है।
शास्त्रीय ग्रन्थ प्रत्येक संस्कार के लिए भिन्न नियम निर्धारित करते हैं। विवाह सबसे कठोर है (सभी 7 निषेध लागू)। मुण्डन में उत्तरायण अनिवार्य है (मुहूर्त चिन्तामणि)। नामकरण समयबद्ध संस्कार है – कालखण्ड-स्तरीय प्रतिबन्ध लागू नहीं होते। प्रत्येक संस्कार के लिए विशिष्ट नक्षत्र सूची शास्त्रों से ली गई है। समय विश्लेषण 15-मिनट की सटीकता से किया जाता है।
इंजन प्रत्येक दिन को 15-मिनट के खण्डों में विभाजित करता है और प्रत्येक खण्ड को स्वतन्त्र रूप से स्कोर करता है। इसका अर्थ है कि एक ही दिन में प्रातः 6:00 और 10:00 बजे के बीच स्कोर में 30+ अंकों का अन्तर हो सकता है – क्योंकि होरा स्वामी, चौघड़िया, और लग्न निरन्तर बदलते हैं। प्रत्येक स्कोर किए गए खण्ड में कारक-दर-कारक विश्लेषण अध्याय-स्तरीय सन्दर्भों के साथ दिखाया जाता है।
