What is Jwalamukhi yoga?

Jwalamukhi is an inauspicious muhurta yoga. It forms from five tithi and nakshatra pairs: Pratipada with Mula, Panchami with Bharani, Ashtami with Krittika, Navami with Rohini, and Dashami with Ashlesha. Tradition warns that anything begun in Jwalamukhi yoga, from weddings to new business, struggles to succeed, so no new beginning is kept in it.

Unlike the pushkara yogas, Jwalamukhi does not depend on the weekday, only on the tithi and nakshatra pair overlapping in the Panchang day.

What to avoid in Jwalamukhi yoga

  • No weddings or engagements
  • No new business launches
  • No property or vehicle purchases
  • No housewarming or travel beginnings

Routine daily work is fine. The caution is only about important new beginnings. If a date is unavoidable, consult an astrologer for the best possible window within the day.

How these dates were calculated

Each date below was computed with our Panchang engine using a sunrise-based weekday model: a tithi and nakshatra overlap in the small hours belongs to the previous sunrise day's weekday, matching how published almanacs date these yogas. The 2026 Dwipushkara list matches standard references exactly.
