Muhurat Choghadiya is an independent reference site for Hindu panchang, choghadiya timings, festival dates, and Vedic astrology basics. Content published here is compiled from publicly available classical Sanskrit texts — Surya Siddhanta, Brihat Parashara Hora Shastra, Muhurta Chintamani — and standard reference works on Hindu calendrics.

Astronomical calculations on this site are based on Jean Meeus's "Astronomical Algorithms" (Willmann-Bell, 1998). Lahiri Ayanamsa is used for tropical-to-sidereal conversion — the same standard adopted by the Indian Government's Calendar Reform Committee in 1955. This site is published for educational and cultural reference and is not a substitute for personal consultation with a qualified pandit or jyotishi.
