Muhurat
An auspicious time chosen from the panchang for a wedding or any important beginning.
A muhurat (muhurtham in the South) is a window of time an astrologer or priest selects as favourable, based on the tithi, nakshatra, yoga and karana of the day and the couple's charts. Wedding invitations in India print it, and the key rituals are timed to it.
Wedding seasons in India follow the muhurats — there are months with dozens and months with none — which is why halls book out on some dates a year ahead.
