When house-warmings pause in 2026

Each of these closes the calendar, whatever the nakshatra:

  • 1 January – 4 February: Venus set (Shukra asta)
  • 1 January – 18 January: Lunar month of Pausha
  • 19 March – 17 April: Lunar month of Chaitra
  • 17 May – 14 June: Adhika (leap) month
  • 12 July – 14 August: Jupiter set (Guru asta)
  • 15 July – 12 August: Lunar month of Ashadha
  • 13 August – 10 September: Lunar month of Shravana
  • 11 September – 10 October: Lunar month of Bhadrapada
  • 9 October – 31 October: Venus set (Shukra asta)
  • 11 October – 9 November: Lunar month of Ashwin

How these dates are chosen

The lunar month must be one of Magha, Phalguna, Vaishakha, Jyeshtha, Kartika or Margashirsha (months named from new moon to new moon). An adhika (leap) month is avoided, and so are the weeks when Venus (Shukra) or Jupiter (Guru) is set, with three days either side.

The day must not be a Tuesday or Sunday, and the tithi must be one of Shukla Dwitiya, Tritiya, Panchami, Saptami, Dashami, Ekadashi or Trayodashi, or Krishna Pratipada, Dwitiya, Tritiya, Panchami, Saptami, Dashami or Ekadashi. Rikta tithis (Chaturthi, Navami, Chaturdashi), Ashtami, Amavasya and Purnima are left out.

Within a good day, the muhurat is the time the Moon spends in one of the 8 steady or gentle nakshatras: Rohini, Mrigashira, Uttara Phalguni, Chitra, Anuradha, Uttara Ashadha, Uttara Bhadrapada and Revati, while the tithi stays good. Windows shorter than five minutes are dropped.

These are dates for entering a newly built or bought home (apurva griha pravesh). Like most published lists, this one does not choose the lagna for the puja, and it is not personal to the family’s charts; your priest fixes the exact lagna for your city within the window.

Which are the best griha pravesh dates in 2026?

The 37 dates listed here all pass Panchang Shuddhi: a good lunar month, Venus and Jupiter visible, a good weekday and tithi, and one of the 8 griha pravesh nakshatras. Longer windows give the priest more choice of lagna.

Why are there no house-warming dates in some months?

Only six lunar months suit a griha pravesh: Magha, Phalguna, Vaishakha, Jyeshtha, Kartika and Margashirsha. The rest of the year, an adhika month, and the weeks when Venus or Jupiter is set are avoided.

Can we do griha pravesh on a Sunday or Tuesday?

Tradition avoids Tuesday and Sunday for entering a new home, so this list leaves them out. Saturday is allowed by most almanacs, including this one.

Are these dates the same in every city?

The days almost always are; the start and end times move by a few minutes with sunrise and longitude. Times here are for New Delhi.
