Frequently asked questions
Are these timings the same everywhere?
No. Tithi, nakshatra and sunrise are calculated for New Delhi, so dates and times shift between cities, and abroad a muhurat can fall on a different day than in India.
Should I also check my own chart?
Yes for an important event. Tarabalam (from your birth nakshatra) and Chandrabalam (from your Moon sign) show which of these windows also suit you; for a wedding, families also match the couple's Kundlis and fix the lagna with a Pandit.
