Sade Teen Muhurat - Three and half Muhurat in Year in Hindu Astrology

In a calendar year three and half days are considered highly auspicious as per traditional Vedic astrology followed in North and western parts of India. This three and half muhurat is known as Sade Teen Muhurat. This is mainly based on the Hindu lunar calendar.

The significance of the three and half auspicious days is that there is no need to look for auspicious time. Each second on the day is highly auspicious. The day is chosen for marriages, house warming, opening of new business and shops and for making investment in property and valuable items like gold, platinum, diamonds etc.
