Annaprashan Muhurat rules used on this page
- Where these rules come from: the annaprashan rules of the sanskara chapter of Muhurta Chintamani. No large almanac publishes a computed annaprashan list for a whole year, so they are stated here in full rather than matched to someone else's dates.
- Weekday: Monday, Wednesday, Thursday or Friday (the Vedic weekday, which changes at sunrise). Never Tuesday, Saturday or Sunday.
- Nakshatra: the Moon in one of these 16 — Ashwini, Rohini, Mrigashira, Punarvasu, Pushya, Uttara Phalguni, Hasta, Chitra, Swati, Anuradha, Uttara Ashadha, Shravana, Dhanishta, Shatabhisha, Uttara Bhadrapada and Revati.
- Tithi: Dwitiya, Tritiya, Panchami, Saptami, Dashami, Trayodashi of either fortnight, and Purnima. Never Pratipada, Chaturthi, Shashti, Ashtami, Navami, Ekadashi, Dwadashi, Chaturdashi or Amavasya.
- Season: none. The child's age decides the month, so there is no month, Kharmas or Chaturmas rule; only an adhika month is closed. Adhika Jyeshtha, an adhika month, runs from 17 May 2026 to 15 June 2026.
- Age — guidance, not computed: the texts give the sixth or eighth month for a boy and the fifth or seventh for a girl — even months for boys, odd for girls, counted from birth — and many families simply choose the sixth month. Find the month the child is in, then pick a date from it here.
- The day: sunrise to the next sunrise, for Sydney. A day any closed period touches is left out whole; inside the days that remain, the muhurat is the time when every condition above holds at once, for at least 20 minutes.
- Not checked here: the child's own chart (Chandra bala and Tara bala) and the lagna. A priest checks these against the child's birth details.
Why other calendars show different dates
- Lists cut by the lagna. Some published annaprashan lists split each day into lagna slots and print only those, so they show fewer and shorter windows. This page gives the panchang window; the lagna inside it is for the priest.
- Other tithi and weekday lists. Published rule lists vary — some allow Pratipada, some leave out Dwitiya, and some print dates on a Sunday or a Tuesday. This page applies the classical rule set above exactly and shows every window it allows.
- The child's chart. Chandra bala and Tara bala depend on the child's birth nakshatra and can move a date.
- The city. The day starts at sunrise, so a window near dawn can fall on a different date in another city.
Muhurat for another city
The day runs from sunrise to the next sunrise, and sunrise differs across India by well over an hour — so a window near dawn can belong to a different date in another city, and every clock time moves.
These links recompute the list for the city you pick. They are variants of this page: each carries a canonical back to the address above and asks search engines not to index it.

In which month is annaprashan done?
The texts give the sixth or eighth month for a boy and the fifth or seventh for a girl, counted from birth; many families simply choose the sixth month. Find the month the child is in, then a date from it here.
Does Kharmas or Chaturmas matter for annaprashan?
Not in the classical rule set this page uses — the child's age decides the month. Only an adhika month is closed.
Why does another panchang show different dates?
Each difference is set out above under 'Why other calendars show different dates' — which rules differ, and which windows this list keeps that others leave out.
