Frequently asked questions
What is Rahu Kaal and how is it calculated?
The daytime from sunrise to sunset is split into eight equal parts; one part, fixed by the weekday, is Rahu Kaal (for example the 8th part on Sunday, the 2nd on Monday). Tradition avoids starting new work in it. Because it depends on local sunrise and sunset, it changes with your city and the season.
What is Bhadra and why is it avoided?
Bhadra is the Vishti karana, a half-tithi that comes about eight times a lunar month. Tradition says Bhadra 'resides' on earth, in heaven or in the underworld depending on the Moon's sign, and avoids auspicious work only while it is on earth (Moon in Cancer, Leo, Aquarius or Pisces). We show where it resides.
What are Chandra Bala and Tara Bala?
Both are personal. Chandra Bala counts the day's Moon sign from your birth Moon sign; the 1st, 3rd, 6th, 7th, 10th and 11th are favourable. Tara Bala counts the day's nakshatra from your birth nakshatra, folded into nine 'taras'. Add your profile on the dashboard or in the Muhurat finder to see them.
How does the Muhurat finder choose dates?
For each day it checks the weekday, tithi, nakshatra, yoga and karana against the traditional rules for the purpose, removes Rikta tithis, Amavasya, harsh yogas, Bhadra, Rahu Kaal and Yamaganda, and for weddings and moves also Kharmas and a combust Jupiter or Venus. Windows of at least one muhurta (48 minutes) are kept and scored.
Can I rely on it instead of a priest?
Use it to shortlist dates. It does not check the rising sign of the exact moment, Chaturmas or your family's customs, and it lists what it did not check. Confirm the final muhurat with a priest or astrologer who knows your tradition.
