These are day-level shortlists from classical Muhurta Shastra combinations (auspicious nakshatra + favourable tithi + benefic weekday). The exact muhurta window on a chosen day depends on the local lagna and your family's charts — please confirm the final timing with your purohit. On the day itself, check good & avoid timings and Choghadiya.
