Sait
Sait — auspicious dates
Good days and times for Bibaha, Bratabandha, Pasni, Nwaran, Ghar Pravesh, Shilanyas, a new vehicle, opening a business and travel — with Agni Vaas for havan and Shiva Vaas for Rudrabhishek.
Dates marked Official are Nepal’s published sait for 2083; other dates are calculated from the Panchang for your location.

How the sait is chosen
Each day is read at sunrise for your place: the tithi, nakshatra, weekday, yoga and karana must suit the occasion, and the times inside the day leave out Rahu Kaal, Yamaghanta, Gulika and Bhadra.
- Shubha every core condition is met and nothing blocks the day.
- Madhyam the core conditions are met, with a caution to keep in mind.
- Whole periods are left out: Kharmas, Chaturmas, Pitri Paksha, Holashtak, an adhik maas, and the weeks when Jupiter or Venus is combust (asta).
- Agni Vaas says where the sacred fire rests that day — on earth it is good for havan; in the sky or the underworld, havan is avoided.
- Shiva Vaas says where Shiva is — at Kailash, beside Gauri, riding Nandi or at his meal is good for Rudrabhishek; in the assembly, at play or at the cremation ground is not. In 2083 the days follow Nepal’s published Rudri list.
