FAQ

What is a Muhurta in Vedic astrology?

A Muhurta is an auspicious window of time — traditionally a 48-minute block — selected using the five limbs of Panchang (tithi, vara, nakshatra, yoga, karana). Classical Jyotish treats "when" as seriously as "what" for any important activity.

What is Abhijit Muhurta?

Abhijit Muhurta is the 48-minute window around solar noon — considered the most universally auspicious period of the day. It is the "safe default" for important activities when no specialised muhurta is available, except for travel south.

What is Rahu Kaal?

Rahu Kaal is a ~90-minute daily inauspicious period ruled by Rahu. Its timing shifts by weekday and depends on sunrise/sunset for your location. Avoid starting new activities during Rahu Kaal.

What is the difference between Rahu Kaal, Yamagandam, and Gulika Kaal?

All three are inauspicious daily windows ruled by different malefic shadow forces. Rahu Kaal is the most well-known. Yamagandam is ruled by Yama (harm to money/legal matters). Gulika Kaal extends difficulties. Avoid critical activities during all three.

Do I need personalised muhurta or is this enough?

For daily decisions (buying a phone, scheduling a meeting), this city-level panchang is sufficient. For life events (marriage, starting a business, gruhapravesham, major purchase), get PERSONALISED muhurta checked against YOUR birth chart — we offer that inside the app.

Why does my city's Rahu Kaal differ from another city's?

Rahu Kaal is calculated from local sunrise and sunset, which vary by location. A person in Mumbai has different Rahu Kaal timings than someone in Chennai, even on the same day. Always use YOUR city's panchang.
