⏰ Houston, Texas
A good Muhurat in Houston depends on the Tithi, Nakshatra, weekday and your own Rashi, and on avoiding Rahu Kaal on the day itself. Pick the event and month below to get a short list of favourable dates.

Once you have a good date, pick the time of day using Houston's own sunrise: avoid Rahu Kaal, and if you can, start during the Abhijit Muhurat around local midday. Both are shown below for today and change a few minutes each day. Times are in Central Daylight Time (UTC−5).
| Day (Vara) | Shukravar (Friday) |
|---|---|
| Tithi at sunrise | Krishna Panchami until Fri 30 Oct, 8:55 AM |
| Nakshatra | Ardra (pada 2) until Fri 30 Oct, 8:41 PM |
| Sunrise / Sunset | 7:33 AM / 6:36 PM |
| Rahu Kaal (avoid) | 11:42 AM – 1:05 PM |
| Abhijit Muhurat (good) | 12:43 PM – 1:27 PM |
All times are Houston local time (Central Daylight Time, UTC−5). Calculated from Houston's own sunrise with the Lahiri ayanamsa.
Start and end times are in Houston time. A vrat is usually kept on the day the Tithi is running at sunrise; your family or temple tradition may differ.
The length of the day decides the length of Rahu Kaal. In Houston the shortest day has about 10 h 14 min of daylight and the longest about 14 h 4 min (today: 11 h 3 min), which gives a Rahu Kaal of 77 to 105 minutes.
Sunrise in Houston today is 7:33 AM, 10 minutes earlier on the clock than in Dallas (362 km away). Even nearby cities need their own Panchang.
On 30 October the sunrise Tithi in Houston is Krishna Panchami; in Delhi it is Krishna Panchami. They match today, but on many days they do not, especially around Ekadashi and Purnima, so check before a vrat.
Houston is on Central Daylight Time (UTC−5), 10 h 30 min behind India.
Houston uses daylight saving time, so the gap to India changes during the year:
If you were born in Houston, enter your birth time exactly as it is written on your birth certificate. That is the local clock time, already including summer time if it applied, and the birthplace tells the calculation which time zone to use.
Houston has a large and growing Indian community in Sugar Land, Katy and Stafford. The BAPS Shri Swaminarayan Mandir in Stafford and the Sri Meenakshi Temple in Pearland are two of the best-known Hindu temples in Texas.
It helps. If you do not know your Moon sign, a Kundli reading will tell you, or use the Rashi of the person doing the ceremony.
The good dates are usually similar, but the clock times are not. Sunrise, Rahu Kaal and Abhijit Muhurat must be worked out for Houston. This page shows them in Houston local time.
