Question 1

What is Muhurta (Shubh Muhurat)?

Accepted Answer

Muhurta (also spelled Muhurat or Muhurt) is the Vedic system of electional astrology used to find the most auspicious time for important life events. It analyzes Tithi, Nakshatra, Yoga, Choghadiya, planetary positions, and event-specific rules to score time slots from 0-100. A higher score indicates a more favorable time for the specific activity.

Question 2

How is the Muhurta score calculated?

Accepted Answer

The Muhurta score (0-100) is calculated using five factors: Choghadiya quality (0-30 points), Nakshatra suitability for the event (0-25 points), Tithi quality (0-20 points), Vara/weekday match (0-15 points), and bonuses like Abhijit Muhurta (+10). Penalties are applied for overlap with Rahu Kaal (-10), Yamaganda (-5), and other inauspicious periods.

Question 3

Which Nakshatra is best for marriage (Vivah Muhurat)?

Accepted Answer

The most auspicious Nakshatras for marriage are Rohini, Uttara Phalguni, Hasta, Swati, Anuradha, Mrigashira, Magha, Uttara Ashadha, Uttara Bhadrapada, and Revati. Rohini and Uttara Phalguni are considered the best. Thursday and Monday are the most favorable weekdays for marriage ceremonies.

Question 4

What is the best Muhurta for Griha Pravesh (housewarming)?

Accepted Answer

For Griha Pravesh, the best Nakshatras are Rohini, Uttara Phalguni, Uttara Ashadha, and Uttara Bhadrapada. Tuesday (ruled by Mars, the planet of property) and Thursday are considered the best weekdays. Avoid Rahu Kaal, Amavasya, and Bhadra periods. Shukla Paksha (waxing moon) tithis 2, 3, 5, 7, 10, 11, and 13 are most favorable.

Question 5

Which times should be avoided when selecting a Muhurta?

Accepted Answer

Avoid starting important activities during Rahu Kaal, Yamaganda Kaal, Gulika Kaal, Kaal Vela, and Vaar Vela. Also avoid Amavasya (new moon), Krishna Chaturdashi, Ashtami, and Navami tithis. During Holashtak (8 days before Holi), all auspicious activities should be postponed. Kaal and Rog Choghadiya periods are also inauspicious.
