Frequently Asked Questions

What does 'Favourable' mean in this table?

A day rated Favourable falls on a Shukla Paksha (waxing moon) auspicious Tithi and / or when the Moon transits a traditionally gentle nakshatra such as Rohini, Pushya, Hasta, or Revati. It is a traditional classification, not a guarantee of outcome.

Should I choose a C-section date based on this table alone?

No. These ratings are traditional Vedic almanac classifications only. The primary decision about delivery timing belongs to your obstetrician. These tables are intended for families who wish to consider panchang factors within a medically acceptable window.

Which location are these timings based on?

Calculations use New Delhi (28.61°N, 77.21°E, IST UTC+5:30) as a reference. Tithi and nakshatra transition times vary slightly by location. For local timings, see the Panchang page.

What are Rikta tithis and why are they avoided?

Rikta means 'empty' in Sanskrit. The 4th, 9th, and 14th tithis of each paksha are called Rikta and are traditionally avoided for auspicious beginnings in most muhurta texts.
