Shubh Muhurat by Season in 2026 — New Delhi

Based on the actual panchang calculation loaded above for New Delhi, 2026.

February, April–May: Peak Season for Auspicious Dates

February, April–May together carry 13 shubha muhurat dates — the richest window of 2026 for planning in New Delhi. Chaturmas has not begun and favourable nakshatras align most frequently during these months.

January, August–December: Why Shubh Muhurat Dates Disappear

January, August–December shows zero shubha muhurat dates. This is typically caused by Chaturmas, Kharmas, or Venus/Jupiter combustion (Tara Asta). Our calculator checks all conditions dynamically; dates only appear when every classical filter passes.

March, June–July: Second Window for Shubh Muhurat Dates

March, June–July offers 7 additional shubha muhurat dates — useful if you couldn't find a date during the primary window. Planetary positions and nakshatra combinations in these months can still deliver high-quality muhurat windows.

City-Specific Panchang-Pure Mundan Muhurats

Mundan (the first tonsure) is one of the 16 shodasha samskaras codified in the Ashvalayana Grihyasutra and later systematised in the Dharmasindhu. It is believed to remove karmic impurities carried from past lives — the child's first hair is offered to the deity as a symbol of fresh beginnings. This makes the choice of Nakshatra critically important for the ceremony.

Our engine simultaneously cross-checks Nakshatra, Tithi, Yoga, Weekday, and seasonal blocks against the exact local sunrise-sunset for your selected city. Inauspicious nakshatras like Krittika, Ardra, and Magha are automatically excluded.

Should hair be left uncut until Mundan?

In most North Indian traditions, yes — the child's hair is not cut at all until the first Mundan ceremony. The full head tonsure during Mundan is the child's symbolic "first haircut" and the occasion holds profound spiritual significance.

Classical Rules for Mundan Muhurat

Auspicious Nakshatras
Ashwini, Pushya, Hasta, Swati, Shravana, Dhanishta, and Revati are top choices. Krittika, Ardra, Ashlesha, Magha, and Jyeshta are strictly blocked.
🌙
Tithi
Shukla Paksha Tritiya, Panchami, Saptami, Dashami, Ekadashi, and Purnima are ideal. Rikta tithis and Amavasya are hard-blocked.
☀️
Weekday
Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday are the best days. Saturday is strictly blocked. Tuesday and Sunday are generally avoided.
Blocked Periods
Chaturmas, Pitru Paksha, Holashtak, Adhik Maas, and Kharmas are all blocked. Our engine filters them automatically.
