The Muhurat or;Muhurta’s refers to a moment in the day considered the most auspicious for an activity to commence. It is a system used by the Hindu calendar to determine the best time to initiate an event or action. According to this system, there are 30 muhurtas in a day which correspond to the 24 hours of the Western calendar. Depending on the time, Muhurtas can be auspicious, neutral, or inauspicious. So, for example, if you want to do pooja, prayer or ritual, you must choose an auspicious muhurta. If you select a particular activity that is considered inauspicious, the astrologer will advise you to pick an auspicious time instead
The purpose of muhurta is to help people gain positive results from their activities.
