How the muhurat is chosen
For each day in the range the page works out, for your city, when the tithi, nakshatra, yoga and karana change, and keeps the stretches where all of them suit the purpose. Rikta tithis (Chaturthi, Navami, Chaturdashi), Amavasya, Vishti (Bhadra) karana and the Vyatipata and Vaidhriti yogas are always left out, and Rahu Kaal, Yamaganda and Gulika Kaal are cut out of every window. Each purpose uses its own traditional nakshatras and weekdays:

Days left out
Some periods are avoided for some events: Pitru Paksha for all new beginnings; Chaturmas, Kharmas (the Sun in Dhanu or Meena), Holashtak and Adhik maas for marriage, griha pravesh and mundan; and days when Guru or Shukra is combust (asta) for marriage and griha pravesh. When you pick charts saved on this device, Tara bala and Chandra bala are shown for each person, and days that are weak for them are marked.
Please confirm with your priest
This is a shortlist, not a final muhurat. Family and regional traditions differ, and a full muhurat for a wedding also looks at the lagna at the moment of the ceremony and at both horoscopes together. Use these dates to start the conversation with your family priest.
