Times are local to the place chosen and rounded to the minute. Planet positions use the Lahiri ayanamsa; sunrise, Choghadiya and Rahu Kaal follow the library's panchang, which agrees with published almanacs to within a few minutes. Take this as a shortlist: for a wedding or griha pravesh, confirm the final muhurta and lagna with your family priest.

The rules used on this page

These lists come from the panchang-ts library's stock rule for this occasion, which cites Muhurta Chintamani, Muhurta Darpana and BPHS. Tithis, nakshatras and weekdays are read at sunrise, as the library does. Items marked * are our correction (see below). Every day starts at 50. Pass mark: 50.

Favourable tithis (+10)Shukla Dwitiya, Shukla Tritiya, Shukla Panchami, Shukla Shashthi, Shukla Saptami, Shukla Ashtami, Shukla Dashami, Shukla Ekadashi, Shukla Dwadashi, Shukla Trayodashi
Unfavourable tithis (−15)Shukla Chaturthi, Shukla Navami, Shukla Chaturdashi*, Purnima, Krishna Chaturthi*, Krishna Ashtami, Krishna Navami*, Krishna Chaturdashi*, Amavasya
Favourable nakshatras (+10)Rohini, Punarvasu, Pushya, Uttara Phalguni, Hasta, Swati, Anuradha, Uttara Ashadha, Shravana, Uttara Bhadrapada, Revati
Unfavourable nakshatras (−15)none listed
Favourable weekdays (+10)Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday
Unfavourable weekdays (−15)none listed
YogasNone listed; Amrit Siddhi, Sarvartha Siddhi, Ravi Pushya and Guru Pushya add 5, Jwalamukhi takes 10.
Whole day excluded whennone listed
Kept out of the time windowRahu Kaal, Yamaganda, Gulika, Dur Muhurta, Varjyam, and hours when an unfavourable tithi or nakshatra is in force; Bhadra (Vishti karana). Windows are chosen from Abhijit muhurta (not on Wednesdays) and the Amrit, Shubh, Labh Choghadiya, by day only.
Seasonal restrictions (traditions differ)none listed
Preferred lagnanone listed

Where we depart from the library

  • Rikta tithis (Chaturthi, Navami, Chaturdashi) and Amavasya always count as unfavourable. Some stock lists put one on the favourable side, for example Shukla Chaturdashi, which reads as a slip between 0- and 1-based tithi numbers rather than a tradition. These are marked *.
  • Bhadra: the library drops the whole day if Bhadra touches it, which removed about 40% of days in our tests. Muhurta Chintamani forbids the Vishti karana period, so we keep the day and keep Bhadra out of the window.
  • Ganda Mula: where the rule excludes it, the library drops any day whose sunrise Moon is in Ashwini, Ashlesha, Magha, Jyeshtha, Mula or Revati, though it lists Magha, Mula and Revati as good for marriage. Ganda Mula is a birth rule; for muhurta the texts avoid the gandanta junction, so we keep one pada either side of each junction out of the window.

When annaprashan is done

The Grihya Sutras set annaprashan in the sixth month, and many families follow the custom of even months for a boy and odd months for a girl: the sixth or eighth for a boy, the fifth or seventh for a girl. In Bengal it is mukhe bhaat, in Kerala choroonu, often at the Guruvayur temple.

Because the age decides the month, no seasonal restriction is applied. The rule favours gentle and steady nakshatras: Rohini, Punarvasu, Pushya, Uttara Phalguni, Hasta, Swati, Anuradha, Uttara Ashadha, Shravana, Uttara Bhadrapada and Revati.

On the day

  • Offer the food to the family deity first, then feed the baby a little kheer or rice with ghee.
  • Choose a daytime window when the baby is usually awake and fed.
  • Check with your paediatrician about starting solids; the ceremony can be a single symbolic taste.

How the dates are chosen

Each day in the range is scored on the four limbs of the panchang that matter for timing an event: the tithi, the nakshatra, the weekday and the yoga, all read at sunrise. Every day starts at 50; a limb on the occasion's favourable list adds 10 and one on its unfavourable list takes 15. Amrit Siddhi, Sarvartha Siddhi, Ravi Pushya and Guru Pushya add 5, Jwalamukhi takes 10. Days below 50 are left out, and so are days the rule bars outright, such as Ekadashi, an eclipse or an Adhika month.

Then the season: Kharmas, Chaturmas, Jupiter or Venus being set, Holashtak or Pitru Paksha, whichever apply to the occasion. These are where traditions differ most, so you can show those days flagged instead of hidden.

Last, the time. Inside each remaining day we take the good Choghadiya slots and Abhijit muhurta, and cut out Rahu Kaal, Yamaganda, Gulika, Dur Muhurta, Varjyam, Bhadra and any hours when an unfavourable tithi or nakshatra has begun. The best piece left is the window shown; if nothing of at least 24 minutes is left, the day is dropped. Days are ranked by score, then by the quality and length of the window.

Personal dates: Tarabala and Chandrabala

A day can be good in general and still be poor for one person. Two checks from Muhurta Chintamani make it personal. Tarabala counts from the person's birth nakshatra to the day's nakshatra and reduces the count to a cycle of nine taras; the 3rd (Vipat), 5th (Pratyari) and 7th (Vadha) are bad. Chandrabala counts the house of the day's Moon from the birth Moon sign; the 1st, 3rd, 6th, 7th, 10th and 11th are good.

Personal mode keeps only the hours when both are good and drops days with none left. For a wedding the texts check the bride and the groom; run it once for each and pick a date good for both. Some texts let Chandrabala decide in the bright fortnight and Tarabala in the dark one; we apply both strictly.

Annaprashan Muhurat: common questions

In which month is annaprashan done?

Classically the sixth month. Many families use even months (6th or 8th) for boys and odd months (5th or 7th) for girls.

Why are Chaturmas and Kharmas not applied here?

The ceremony is tied to the baby's age, so the texts do not hold it back for a season. Only the day's tithi, nakshatra, weekday and timings are checked.

Which weekdays suit annaprashan?

Monday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday add to a day's score. No weekday is ruled out.

Does this replace the priest?

No. It gives a well-reasoned shortlist from the panchang. The final muhurta, especially the lagna for the main rite, is fixed by a priest or astrologer who also looks at the family's charts and local custom.

Why does my almanac list different dates?

Almanacs follow different schools. They differ on the seasonal restrictions, on whether Bhadra spoils a whole day or only its hours, on the combustion orbs for Jupiter and Venus, and on regional customs. This page shows its rules in full, so you can see exactly why a date is in or out.

A muhurta for a wedding or a house is best fixed with both the panchang and the family's charts. Book a consultation for a personal muhurta.
