How the dates are chosen
- Only while the Sun is in Makara to Mithuna (Uttarayana), outside Chaturmas, and not while Venus or Jupiter is combust. Not on Tuesday or Saturday.
- Nakshatra: the fixed, movable, gentle and short nakshatras. Tithi: Shukla Dwitiya, Tritiya, Panchami, Dashami, Ekadashi, Dwadashi; Krishna Dwitiya, Tritiya, Panchami.
- Daytime only, in its first two thirds; Sun, Mars and Saturn not in the 1st, 5th or 8th house, Jupiter not in the 6th or 8th, Venus and the Moon not in the 6th, 8th or 12th.
A muhurat window is the stretch of the day when all of these hold, from sunrise to the next sunrise. The rules follow the classical muhurta texts as Drik Panchang applies them; ask a Pandit to fix the lagna for your ceremony.

Frequently asked questions
Are these timings the same everywhere?
No. Tithi, nakshatra and sunrise are calculated for Patna, 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.
