How to read this table
Naming favours the same gentle and swift nakshatras used for most samskaras, on a bright-fortnight day. A "Favourable" verdict means the day clears all three screens at once. Neutral days clear the nakshatra and tithi but fall on a less preferred weekday.

Frequently asked questions
Which dates are shubh for naamkaran in May 2027?
The favourable dates are 12 (Wed, Pushya), 17 (Mon, Chitra), 21 (Fri, Anuradha), 26 (Wed, Shravana), 27 (Thu, Dhanishta), 28 (Fri, Shatabhisha). Each has a marriage-grade nakshatra, a clean tithi and a preferred weekday.
How are these muhurta dates calculated?
Each day is screened against the classical electional rules: the Moon must occupy one of the favourable nakshatras for this activity, the tithi must not be Rikta (4th, 9th, 14th) or Amavasya, and the weekday must suit the activity. Naming favours the same gentle and swift nakshatras used for most samskaras, on a bright-fortnight day.
Is a generic muhurta date enough?
No. A date that is broadly auspicious can still clash with your personal chart (your tara bala and chandra bala). The JYTS.H app cross-checks any date against your own birth chart in seconds.
