Muhurtha is a Hindu calendar and Panchang that explains itself. Every tithi, nakshatra, yoga, karana and muhurat is worked out on your phone from the Sun and Moon at your exact location. No account. No ads. No tracking. No internet needed. And unlike most almanacs, it tells you what the words mean. TODAY, AT A GLANCE - Today's tithi, nakshatra, yoga, karana and vaar, each one tap-to-explain - "Plan your day": the next good window, how long until it opens, and the hours to leave alone - Abhijit Muhurat, Rahu Kaal, Yamaganda, Gulika and Choghadiya as plain safe and caution times - When a good hour collides with a bad one, Muhurtha says so and stops offering it - Sunrise, sunset, moonrise, moonset and moon phase - Fasts with their exact Parana window THE YEAR - 130+ festivals across ten traditions: Pan-Hindu, North India, Maharashtra, Gujarat, Bengal and East, Tamil Nadu, Kerala, Karnataka, Tulu Nadu, and Andhra and Telangana - Pick the traditions you follow and the rest disappear - Every Ekadashi, Purnima, Amavasya, Sankashti and Pradosh - Pitru Paksha shraddha days - Solar and lunar eclipses, and whether you can see them from where you stand - Amanta or Purnimanta months, Vikram and Shaka samvat ASK AI Type a question and get an answer from the app's own calendar, offline: - "When is Diwali 2026?" - "Festivals in October" - "What is Ekadashi?" - "Rahu Kaal today" MUHURAT FINDER Wedding, griha pravesh, a new vehicle, property, a naming or a new venture. Muhurtha walks the year and keeps the days that clear the traditional shortlist, with the red windows already cut out. It is a starting list, not a verdict, and the app says so. YOU AND FAMILY Add a birth with date, time and place and get the nakshatra and pada, moon and sun rashi, tithi and the syllable a name starts with. Muhurtha then tells you when that tithi comes round again, for tithi birthdays and annual shraddha. LEARN AND PRAY Plain-language guides to tithis, nakshatras, windows and fasts, with the story behind each festival. Aartis, chalisas and mantras with their meanings. REMINDERS, WIDGETS AND SHARING - Reminders for fasts and festivals - Apple Calendar sync - Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets - A Live Activity counting down Rahu Kaal or Abhijit while it runs - Share a clean day card with family in one tap YOUR LANGUAGE The whole app reads in English, Hindi, Marathi, Gujarati, Bengali, Tamil, Telugu, Kannada and Malayalam. PRIVATE BY DESIGN The Panchang requires no sign-in. Everything is computed on your device. Location is optional: choose a city by hand if you prefer. Nothing is collected and nothing is sold. The app has no analytics, no account and no server. The only outbound request is optional reverse geocoding when searching for a city by name. Location is optional: a city can be chosen manually, and the app ships with a built-in list so search works offline. ACCURATE Drik Ganita calculations with the Lahiri (Chitrapaksha) ayanamsa, with the method written out in full inside the app. Completely self-contained, with no in-app purchases.
