Krittikaकृत्तिका

Krittika is explicitly on this app's unfavorable list for Griha Pravesh (housewarming) and is not on the favorable list for any of the other three Muhurat Search activities (vehicle purchase, property purchase, new job) — Muhurat Search will flag it as a negative factor specifically for housewarming.

Krittika's Visha Ghati begins at the 30th ghati (of 60) — roughly the midpoint of the Nakshatra's span.

Krittika is ruled by Agni, the fire god who serves as the messenger between humans and the divine in Vedic ritual. Its symbol is a razor or flame, representing both cutting/purification and illumination. Its ruling planet (Nakshatra lord, used in Vimshottari Dasha sequencing) is the Sun.

Classical texts associate Krittika with sharpness, determination, and a capacity to cut through obstacles or falsehood — often described as direct and uncompromising. People with a strong Krittika influence are traditionally described as strong-willed and effective at purging what no longer serves a purpose, whether in relationships, work, or belief.

Per the traditional naming-syllable table this app uses for the Baby Names feature, a child born under Krittika's four Padas is traditionally named starting with "A", "I", "U", or "E" respectively.
