How a upanayanam date is chosen
- Solar month: Makara to Mithuna (Uttarayana), mid-January to mid-July.
- Tithi: Shukla Dwitiya, Tritiya, Panchami, Dashami, Ekadashi or Dwadashi, or Krishna Dwitiya, Tritiya or Panchami.
- Weekday: not Tuesday or Saturday; daytime only.
- Not during Chaturmas, while Guru or Shukra is set, in an adhika masa, on Sankranti or an eclipse day.
Before you fix the date
- Traditionally in the 5th or 8th year for Brahmins, counted from conception or birth.
- Many families combine upanayanam with a Ganapathi homam the day before.
- Check Rahu Kalam and the day’s panchang for your city before the exact time.
Frequently asked questions
How are these upanayanam dates calculated?
From the positions of the Sun and Moon for each day (Lahiri ayanamsa), applying the rules of Muhurta Chintamani: solar month: makara to mithuna (uttarayana), mid-january to mid-july, and the other conditions listed on this page. Our calculation uses the same engine as our panchang, which matches Drik Panchang to the minute.
Do the timings change with my city?
Slightly. A muhurat starts or ends when the tithi or nakshatra changes, which happens at the same moment everywhere, or at sunrise, which differs by city. Times here are IST for New Delhi; check the sunrise for your city on our Panchang and your pandit will confirm.
Is a date enough, or do I need a lagna too?
These are panchang shuddhi dates — the day and window are clean. For marriage, griha pravesh and upanayanam the pandit also picks a lagna (rising sign) inside the window that suits the family’s horoscopes.
Can Rutviju send a pandit for Upanayanam on the muhurat?
Yes. Book Upanayanam for the date and time; a verified pandit comes to your home with the vidhi and samagri list, at the price shown before you pay. You can also ask us on WhatsApp.
