What is Seemantham and why is an auspicious muhurta important?

Seemantham is a traditional Indian baby shower ceremony performed during pregnancy. An auspicious muhurta ensures the ceremony aligns with favorable cosmic energies, particularly waxing moon phases and auspicious nakshatras like Ashvini, Rohini, and Pushya.

Shukla Paksha (waxing moon) tithis are preferred, especially Dwitiya (2), Tritiya (3), Panchami (5), Saptami (7), Ekadashi (11), and Trayodashi (13). These tithis carry nourishing and protective energies ideal for baby shower ceremonies.

How is the Seemantham muhurta calculated?

The muhurta is calculated using Śrī Jagannātha Vedic astrology principles, analyzing planetary positions, tithi (lunar day), nakshatra (lunar mansion), weekday, and other panchanga factors.
