Cremation Muhurta is an electional-astrology reading — Muhurta Shastra, the Vedic science of choosing the moment in which an act begins. The module weighs the five limbs of the panchangam and returns the auspicious windows for this specific matter.
Muhurta is one of the oldest branches of Jyotisha — the same texts that describe the tithis, nakshatras and weekdays describe which kinds of acts suit which moments. For centuries, marriages, house-warmings, journeys and beginnings of every kind were opened only in a weighed muhurta.
Traditionally the astrologer cast the day's panchangam — tithi, vara, nakshatra, yoga, karana — then checked Rahu Kaal, Gulika and the rising lagna before pronouncing a window. The rule was simple: begin when the moment carries you, not against you.
The module computes the real panchangam for your place and date — tithi, nakshatra, yoga, karana, hora — then applies the classical electional rules for this kind of act, listing the windows with the reasons attached.
A weighed auspicious window — 48 minutes in the classical measure — chosen so the moment's panchangam supports the act it begins.
Tithi (lunar day), vara (weekday), nakshatra (moon star), yoga and karana — plus Rahu Kaal, Gulika and the rising lagna.
Run the module — the day's limbs are computed and the verdict for this kind of act is given with the reasons.
