Abhijit Muhurat Calculator | Today’s Auspicious Window

The Abhijit Muhurat Calculator divides daylight into 15 equal muhurat windows and returns the 8th — Abhijit (Abhijinam) — centred on local noon. Its span follows the sun: roughly 24 minutes before to 24 minutes after solar noon for your coordinates, lengthening in summer and shrinking in winter.

Quick reference

Muhurat division: daylight ÷ 15 = one muhurat (≈48 min near equinoxes). Abhijit is always the 8th window, containing solar noon.

public Location matters

Tithi and nakshatra boundaries depend on where you are — enter your city's coordinates for precise results.

schedule Ayanamsa

Calculations use the Lahiri (Chitrapaksha) ayanamsa, the standard for Vedic charts.

Results follow drik-panchang style astronomical computation, not printed-table approximation.

school Traditions differ

Some regions use Surya Siddhanta conventions; where traditions conflict, your family panchang wins.

lightbulb A real example — Delhi in September

Delhi coordinates, early September daylight ≈ 12 h 40 m.

Result: Solar noon ≈ 12:22 IST; Abhijit ≈ 11:58 – 12:46.

What this means: In December the same window shrinks to ~11:54–12:38 — daylight length, not the clock, sets it.

Formula & methodology

Formula: Tithi = ⌊(Moon−Sun elongation) ÷ 12°⌋; Nakshatra = ⌊Moon longitude ÷ 13°20'⌋; Vimshottari lord sequence Ketu→Venus→Sun→Moon→Mars→Rahu→Jupiter→Saturn→Mercury

How the Vedic calculation works

All Hindu calculators on CalcaTools share one astronomical runtime: Julian-day conversion, mean planetary longitudes, Lahiri ayanamsa, then derivation of tithi (Moon−Sun elongation ÷ 12°), nakshatra (Moon longitude ÷ 13°20'), rashi (Moon sign), and the Vimshottari dasha sequence (Ketu 7, Venus 20, Sun 6, Moon 10, Mars 7, Rahu 18, Jupiter 16, Saturn 19, Mercury 17 years) anchored at the birth nakshatra's lord.

Festival dates use tabulated panchang data; muhurat windows use sunrise/sunset plus planetary day-lord hours. Default location is Delhi (28.61°N, 77.21°E, IST) unless you enter coordinates — a birth 500 km west shifts nakshatra boundaries in edge cases, so exact coordinates matter for precision work.

Frequently asked questions

What is Abhijit muhurat?
The eighth of the fifteen daytime muhurats, centred on solar noon — traditionally exempt from the day's inauspicious influences, hence favoured for beginnings when no other muhurat is available.
How long does Abhijit muhurat last?
One muhurat — 48 minutes by definition, but daylight division means the actual window runs about 24 min either side of solar noon, longer in summer.
Is Abhijit muhurat good for all activities?
It suits most auspicious work — meetings, purchases, travel starts — except marriage and upanayana, which need full muhurat charts.
Does Abhijit muhurat apply on Wednesday?
Traditionally Abhijit is avoided on Wednesdays for certain activities in some texts; most modern panchangs still list it daily.
