How are Property Purchase Muhurat Dates Calculated?

Each Panchang day (sunrise to the next sunrise) at your location is checked against the rules below, the same rules Drik Panchang's dates follow. Only the tithi, nakshatra and yoga at sunrise and the ones after them count. The muhurat is the first stretch of at least 5 minutes in which every rule holds, in your local time.

🌙 Nakshatra

The Moon must be in Mrigashira, Punarvasu, Ashlesha, Magha, Purva Phalguni, Vishakha, Anuradha, Mula, Purva Ashadha, Purva Bhadrapada or Revati.

📅 Weekday

Only Thursday (Guru) and Friday (Shukra).

☀️ Tithi

Any tithi; Adhika months are excluded.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a muhurat to buy property?

It is not legally required, but many Hindu families prefer to sign the agreement or complete registration on an auspicious date. The belief is that starting a major investment on a good date helps avoid future problems with the property.

Which part of the transaction counts — agreement, registration, or possession?

Most pandits consider the date of signing the sale agreement or completing property registration as the key date for muhurat. If all three happen on different days, try to align the registration with the muhurat.

Can I buy property during Pitru Paksha (Shraddh)?

Drik Panchang does not exclude Pitru Paksha for property purchase, so the dates here can fall in it. Many families still prefer to wait until it ends.

Is Saturday a bad day to buy property?

Property purchase muhurats fall only on Thursday (ruled by Jupiter) and Friday (Venus). Saturday and the other weekdays are not used.

What is the difference between property purchase muhurat and Graha Pravesh muhurat?

Property purchase muhurat covers the transaction — when you sign the papers or register the property. Graha Pravesh is a separate ceremony for when you physically enter and move into the home for the first time. They are done on different dates.

Can the same muhurat be used for both loan signing and property registration?

If the loan disbursement and registration happen on the same day, one muhurat covers both. If they are on different days, a separate auspicious time is preferred for the loan signing as well.

Are these dates valid for plot purchase as well?

Yes. The same muhurat principles apply to purchasing a plot of land, a flat, a house, or a commercial space. The Panchang factors considered are the same for any property transaction.
