Muhurat Factors for Mahalakshmi Puja
Tithi (Lunar Day)
Purnima (full moon), Ekadashi, Chaturthi, and Ashtami are considered most auspicious for puja. Avoid Amavasya (new moon) for most pujas unless specifically required.
Vara (Day of Week)
Each day of the week is associated with a planet and deity. Friday is ideal for Devi and Lakshmi pujas.
Nakshatra
Rohini, Pushya, Hasta, Chitra, and Revati nakshatras are generally auspicious for performing pujas. Avoid Bhadra and Vishkumbha nakshatras.
Lagna
Fixed lagnas (Taurus, Leo, Scorpio, Aquarius) are preferred for pujas as they ensure stability and lasting effects. Brahma Muhurat (pre-dawn) is universally auspicious.
Rahu Kaal
Avoid performing the main ritual during Rahu Kaal, which occurs daily for 90 minutes. Check the daily panchang for exact Rahu Kaal timings in your city.
