All times are computed with the Swiss Ephemeris from each city's local sunrise and sunset, in Indian Standard Time (IST); the page refreshes automatically every day.

How is today's auspicious time worked out?

The good periods of a day come from several independent calculations: Abhijit (the midday muhurta), Vijaya muhurat (the 11th muhurta, in the afternoon), Godhuli (around sunset), Amrit Kaal (an auspicious window derived from today's nakshatra), Brahma Muhurat and the auspicious Choghadiyas. Any of these that clashes with Rahu Kaal, Yamaganda, Durmuhurat or Varjyam should be left out.

Amrit Kaal and Varjyam

Every nakshatra has a fixed span of ghatis that is Varjyam (to be avoided) and one that is Amrit. They depend on the Moon's progress through the nakshatra, so they come at a different time every day — sometimes at night. Today's times for both are in the table above.

Small tasks versus major samskaras

For everyday auspicious tasks — shopping, applications, travel, new work — today's auspicious time is enough. For samskaras like marriage, house-warming, mundan or naming, the nakshatra, tithi, lagna and the rising of Jupiter and Venus are also checked; those dates are given year-round on our muhurat pages.

Frequently asked questions
