Frequently asked questions
How many shubh journey muhurat dates are there in January 2026?

Which is the best Travel muhurat in January 2026?
12 January 2026 (Monday) leads the month with a score of 89/100: Amrit choghadiya, 4:24 PM – 5:42 PM IST, Dashami tithi and Swati nakshatra. The list above is ranked by this score; anything 70 or higher is classically strong.
Are these January 2026 timings valid in my city?
They are computed for Delhi (IST, 28.61°N 77.21°E) as a national reference. Muhurat windows depend on local sunrise, so they shift by several minutes across India and more abroad. Use the date confidently; for the exact window in your city, check Bela's city panchang or the app, which recomputes for your precise location.
Do these January dates account for my personal horoscope?
No — and no honest generic list can. These dates clear the universal (panchang-shuddhi) rules only. Tara Bala and Chandra Bala, which judge the day's Moon against your own birth star, can only be checked against your chart. The Bela app applies both to every window for your whole family.
