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 Pratipada, Shukla Dwitiya, Shukla Panchami, Shukla Shashthi, Shukla Saptami, Shukla Dashami, Shukla Ekadashi, Shukla Trayodashi |
|---|---|
| Unfavourable tithis (−15) | Shukla Chaturthi, Shukla Ashtami, Shukla Navami, Shukla Chaturdashi*, Purnima, Krishna Chaturthi, Krishna Ashtami, Krishna Navami*, Krishna Chaturdashi, Amavasya |
| Favourable nakshatras (+10) | Ashwini, Rohini, Mrigashira, Punarvasu, Pushya, Uttara Phalguni, Hasta, Chitra, Anuradha, Uttara Ashadha, Shravana, Uttara Bhadrapada, Revati |
| Unfavourable nakshatras (−15) | none listed |
| Favourable weekdays (+10) | Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday |
| Unfavourable weekdays (−15) | none listed |
| Yogas | None listed; Amrit Siddhi, Sarvartha Siddhi, Ravi Pushya and Guru Pushya add 5, Jwalamukhi takes 10. |
| Whole day excluded when | none listed |
| Kept out of the time window | Rahu 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 lagna | none 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 namkaran is done
The Grihya Sutras place namkaran on the 10th, 11th or 12th day after birth, once the birth impurity (sutak) ends; some families wait until the 101st day or the first month. If the customary day itself is poor, the next good day is chosen, which is what this finder is for.
Seasonal restrictions such as Chaturmas or Kharmas are not applied, because the ceremony follows the birth and cannot wait months.
Choosing the name
Traditionally the first syllable comes from the pada of the baby's birth nakshatra, for example Chu, Che, Cho or La for the four padas of Ashwini. The nakshatra finder on this site gives the nakshatra and pada from the birth date, time and place.
- Whisper the name in the baby's right ear first, as the rite prescribes, then announce it.
- Keep the ceremony short and warm; the baby's comfort comes first.
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.
Namkaran Muhurat: common questions
On which day after birth is namkaran done?
Usually the 11th or 12th day, after the sutak ends. If that day is not good, choose the next good day in the finder.
Which nakshatras are good for namkaran?
The rule favours the fixed, soft and light nakshatras such as Ashwini, Rohini, Mrigashira, Punarvasu, Pushya, Uttara Phalguni, Hasta, Chitra, Anuradha, Uttara Ashadha, Shravana, Uttara Bhadrapada and Revati. The complete list is in the rules table.
How do I find the first letter of the name?
From the pada of the baby's birth nakshatra. Use the nakshatra finder with the birth details; it shows the traditional syllable for each pada.
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.
