Every day carries both auspicious and inauspicious windows. Rahu Kaal, Yamaganda, and Gulika Kaal are traditionally avoided for new beginnings, since planetary influence during these windows is considered unfavourable.
Abhijit Muhurat, by contrast, is the day's most stable and auspicious window, roughly half an hour long most days, and is considered suitable for nearly any auspicious task.
Choghadiya splits day and night into eight segments each, rating every segment good, bad, or neutral, so even small tasks can be timed quickly.

FAQ
Questions about muhurat
What to avoid during Rahu Kaal? +
By tradition, starting travel, opening a new business, or holding a wedding or housewarming is avoided during Rahu Kaal. Routine daily tasks are fine to continue.
Is Abhijit Muhurat good for every task? +
Abhijit Muhurat is generally reliable for everyday auspicious tasks, but a major decision like a wedding still needs a dedicated muhurat drawn from both birth charts and the full panchang.
Why is Vivah Muhurat a paid report? +
Vivah Muhurat is computed by combining both birth charts with the current panchang, lagna, and specific nakshatras, so it is a far more detailed calculation than the daily muhurat above.
