🌟 Auspicious 🧵 Dates

These dates are an auspicious-timing guide based on your child's birth star; please confirm the final muhurat (and any local customs) with your family priest.

How are these dates chosen?

A date is selected only when the Moon's nakshatra, the tithi (lunar day), the weekday and the child's Tara Bala (from their Janma Nakshatra) are all favourable for the ceremony — the same panchang factors a priest weighs. Upanayana for Brahmin boys is traditionally performed from about age 5–8, during the Uttarayana (northward Sun) half of the year.

Is this a final muhurat?

It is an accurate planning shortlist. Family traditions, the gotra, and exact local sunrise/sunset timings can refine the final choice, so confirm with your priest before fixing arrangements.
