How Annaprashan Muhurat is chosen

Annaprashan is the ceremony of a baby's first solid food. It is usually held in an even month (6th or 8th) for boys and an odd month (5th or 7th) for girls, on a good tithi and nakshatra, in daylight.

  • Nakshatra: Ashwini, Rohini, Mrigashira, Punarvasu, Pushya, Hasta, Chitra, Swati, Anuradha, Shravana, Dhanishta, Shatabhisha, Revati and the three Uttaras
  • Not on a Tuesday or Saturday
  • Avoided during Guru or Shukra asta and Adhik Maas
  • Daytime windows only

Frequently asked questions

In which month is Annaprashan done?

Usually in the 6th or 8th month for boys and the 5th or 7th month for girls.

Is the same date auspicious in every city?

Tithi and nakshatra are nearly the same across India, but sunrise, Rahu Kaal and the exact windows change with the city, so pick yours.

How should I fix the final date?

This list follows general Panchang rules. Before fixing the date, confirm it with your family priest against the horoscopes of the people involved.

How these dates are chosen

For each day, from sunrise to the next sunrise, the exact change times of tithi, nakshatra, yoga, karana and Moon sign come from NASA JPL DE440s ephemeris calculations with the Lahiri ayanamsa. They are matched to the purpose's rules, and Bhadra, Vyatipata, Vaidhriti, Rahu Kaal and Yamaganda are removed.

Whole days ruled out
Chaturmas, Kharmas, Guru or Shukra asta, Adhik Maas (by purpose)
Extra weight
Sarvartha Siddhi, Amrit Siddhi, Guru Pushya, Ravi Pushya, Abhijit Muhurat, Shukla Paksha
Personal (optional)
