A muhurat (also written muhurta) is an auspicious time window selected from the Hindu panchang for starting important life events. The panchang is a five-element almanac: tithi (lunar day), vara (weekday), nakshatra (lunar mansion), yoga (luni-solar calculation) and karana (half-lunar-day). A good muhurat aligns these five elements to minimise obstacles for the event being started.
The nakshatra is usually the most important element: the Moon's position at the time of starting (vivah, griha pravesh, namkaran, business launch) sets the chart for that event. Certain nakshatras are specifically favoured or avoided for each type of event.

What is a Muhurat and how is it determined?
A muhurat (also lagna muhurat) is an auspicious moment for beginning an important activity, determined by analyzing the Hindu panchang: Tithi (lunar day), Vara (weekday), Nakshatra (Moon's asterism), Yoga (Sun-Moon combination), and Karana (half-tithi). When all five factors are favorable for the intended activity, the resulting time period is a muhurat.
