Set your city
Sunrise and sunset differ by city, and every muhurat is derived from them — so the city matters more than the date.
Panchang · Shubh Muhurat Finder
Find the right moment before you begin
Muhurat is the window the Panchang marks as favourable for starting something — a Griha Pravesh, a wedding, a new shop, an exam, even signing papers. Set your city, pick the occasion, and Amodr shows you which dates work and which hours to avoid.

The Process
How the Muhurat Finder works
Choose the occasion
An auspicious day for Griha Pravesh is not auspicious for a wedding. Pick the exact occasion, not just the category.
Read the calendar
Strong dates are highlighted in gold, workable ones carry a dot. Change the occasion and the highlights change with it.
Book a purohit
Found your date? Book a verified pandit for that exact muhurat without leaving the page.

Accuracy
Why you can trust these timings
Calculated from your city
Every window is derived from local sunrise and sunset, not a national average.
Cross-checked with Panchang
Tithi, nakshatra, yoga and karana are verified against the traditional almanac.
Reviewed by purohits
Occasion-specific rules are set by practising purohits, not generic templates.
Refreshed daily
Panchang data updates every morning, so today’s page is genuinely today’s.
Reference
Day Chaughadiya by weekday
Chaughadiya divides daylight into eight roughly 90-minute segments. Amrit, Shubh and Labh are favourable; Rog, Kaal and Udveg are avoided. The order shifts with the weekday.
Exact clock times depend on your city’s sunrise — the finder above applies them for you.
Common Questions
Frequently asked questions
What exactly is a muhurat?
A muhurat is a window of time the Panchang marks as favourable for starting a specific activity. It is calculated from the tithi, nakshatra, yoga and karana of that day, combined with your city’s sunrise and sunset.
Why does the same date show different results for different occasions?
Because each occasion follows its own rule set. A nakshatra that supports Griha Pravesh may be neutral for a wedding and unfavourable for a vehicle purchase. That is why the finder asks for the exact occasion before showing the calendar.
Do auspicious dates change by city?
Yes. Sunrise in Kolkata and sunrise in Mumbai are roughly 45 minutes apart, which shifts every segment of the day — Rahu Kaal, Abhijit and all eight Chaughadiya slots. Always set your correct city first.
What is Rahu Kaal and must I avoid it completely?
Rahu Kaal is a roughly 90-minute daily window traditionally avoided for beginning anything new. Ongoing work is not affected. If the rest of the day is strong, most purohits simply schedule the start outside that window.
What does the score out of 100 mean?
It is a combined reading of how many favourable factors align on that date for your chosen occasion — tithi, nakshatra, yoga, paksha and the number of clear Chaughadiya slots. Above 80 is strong, 60–79 is workable, below 60 means better dates exist nearby.
How far ahead can I plan?
Use the arrows on the calendar to move forward month by month. For weddings and Griha Pravesh we recommend checking two to three months ahead, then booking a pandit as soon as the date is fixed.
Can Amodr book a pandit for the date I choose?
Yes. Every result card has a booking option that carries your city, occasion and date straight into the pandit booking form — you do not have to re-enter anything.
More About This Tool
Shubh muhurat, calculated for your city
Panchang without the guesswork
Traditionally you would open a printed panjika, find today’s page, and read across columns of tithi, nakshatra, yoga and karana to decide whether a day suits what you are planning. Amodr’s muhurat finder does that reading for you — it applies the same factors, for the occasion you actually care about, and shows the outcome as a calendar you can scan in seconds.
Muhurat for Kolkata and West Bengal
Most of our users check muhurat for Kolkata, Howrah, Salt Lake, New Town, Durgapur and Siliguri. Because Bengal follows the Bengali panjika alongside the Vedic Panchang, the finder can present results in Bengali, and every date is cross-checked with the tithi as observed locally rather than a generic all-India table.
What each timing on the page means
Abhijit Muhurta is the roughly 48-minute window around solar noon, considered favourable on most days. Rahu Kaal, Yamaghanta and Gulika Kaal are the three inauspicious windows to avoid starting anything new. Chaughadiya splits daylight into eight segments — Amrit, Shubh and Labh are the ones to use. All of these shift with your city’s sunrise, which is why the location step comes first.
From muhurat to a booked purohit
Finding the date is only half of it. Once you have a muhurat you are happy with, Amodr can assign a verified pandit for that exact date and time, in Bengali or Hindi vidhi, with the samagri list shared in advance. Check the pandit booking page for what each package includes, or read the ritual guides for how to prepare.
