Questions families ask
What is a muhurat?
A muhurat is an auspicious time chosen from the Panchang — the tithi, nakshatra, weekday, yoga and karana — so that an important ceremony begins under favourable conditions.
Is Griha Pravesh allowed during Chaturmas?
Traditionally Griha Pravesh, Mundan and Bhoomi Pujan are avoided during Chaturmas and Kharmas, so the finder skips those periods.
Does the finder give the exact time?
It shows the day, the nakshatra and tithi end times, Abhijit Muhurat and Rahu Kaal for your city. Your family priest can then fix the exact lagna time.
