Choosing an auspicious Muhurat (timing) is crucial in Vedic astrology. Starting important life events during favorable planetary positions brings success, prosperity, and removes obstacles. This comprehensive 2026 calendar lists the best dates for all major occasions.

What is a Muhurat?

A Muhurat is an auspicious time period calculated using Vedic astrology. It considers Tithi (lunar date), Nakshatra (constellation), Yoga, Karana, Weekday, and planetary positions to determine the most favorable time to begin important activities. Even a generally inauspicious day can have good Muhurats, and vice versa.
