- Tithi (Shukla paksha): Tritiya, Panchami, Shashthi, Ashtami, Dashami, Ekadashi, Trayodashi, Purnima; (Krishna paksha): Pratipada, Tritiya, Panchami, Shashthi, Ashtami, Dashami, Ekadashi, Trayodashi
- Weekdays: Sunday, Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday
- No muhurat in an Adhik (extra) month
- No muhurat in Pitru Paksha

These are the generally auspicious windows. For a ceremony, an astrologer also checks the lagna at the chosen moment and the Tara and Chandra bala of the people involved — the same window can suit one person better than another.
