Muhurat is electional astrology — selecting an auspicious moment to begin an important event (wedding, vehicle purchase, business launch, house warming, child naming, mundan). The window combines tithi, vara (day), nakshatra, yoga, and karana with the specific event's rules. A wedding muhurat avoids Bhadra kaal, Rahu kaal, and certain nakshatras; a vehicle muhurat favors Shubh and Labh choghadiya. Skilled astrologers also factor the native's personal chart against the moment.
