Shubh Muhurat January 2024: Auspicious Dates & Timings For Key Events in Life

What is a Muhurat?

A muhurat is a window of time derived by analyzing the movement of planets in the zodiac belt. A muhurat can be both ‘shubh’ or auspicious as well as ‘ashubh’ or inauspicious, depending upon the nature of the energies that are predominant during that time frame. When the predominant planetary energies in the cosmos are positive/auspicious for a specific event or domain of life, then performing events related to such a domain in that time frame yields positive results in the long term.

On the contrary, if you perform a task in a muhurat that is dominated by inauspicious or malefic energies, then more often than not you find problems unfolding in your life from that task in the times to come.

This is why it is essential to consult with an experienced astrologer to get the ‘Shubh Muhurat’ for performing a key event or task of life.

Tasks that must be performed in a Shubh Muhurat

There are various kinds of tasks in life that warrant be performed in an auspicious or shubh muhurat. The most important of them are as follows:

Bhoomi-Pujan or Laying the Foundation of a House:

‘Bhoomi-Pujan’ is a sacred process of worshipping the land where you will construct your house or a structure of any kind be it residential or commercial for that matter. By performing this ritual, you ensure divine blessings that will grace your house and bring health, wealth and prosperity in the lives of those who would reside or work in that house.   

Therefore, while building your house from the ground up, it is extremely important to perform the Bhoomi-Pujan in a shubh or auspicious muhurat.

Marriage is arguably the most important and defining domain of a person’s life. It brings a whole new meaning to life and teaches the value of family, love, trust and commitment in a very profound manner.

It is highly critical that a couple must get married in a muhurat which is shubh or auspicious for marriage thereby, ensuring a blissful married life for themselves ahead.

Once a couple ties the knot in a shubh muhurat, the positive energies dominant in the skies at that time bless the couple with a lifelong mutual love & harmony. This is why it is a tradition in the Hindu faith to get married only during a shubh muhurat.

Starting a Business:
