What is Vehicle Purchase muhurat?
Auspicious days to buy or take delivery of a new car, bike or other vehicle.
A vehicle-purchase muhurat is chosen for buying or taking delivery of a new car, bike or scooter, so the vehicle brings safe and smooth journeys. Swift, light nakshatras are preferred, along with a shubh tithi and a favourable weekday.
Good nakshatras include Ashwini, Rohini, Mrigashira, Punarvasu, Pushya, Hasta, Chitra, Swati, Anuradha, Shravana, Dhanishta, Shatabhisha and Revati. Avoid Bhadra (Vishti karana), Amavasya, Rikta tithis and inauspicious yogas. Many families also do a short puja before the first drive.
The dates below are computed from the panchang for India (IST, Hyderabad reference). The exact delivery-time window can be confirmed with a priest.
How to choose a Vehicle Purchase muhurat
- 1 Pick a favourable nakshatra and shubh tithi for vehicle purchase from the list below.
- 2 Avoid Bhadra (Vishti karana), Amavasya, Rikta tithis and inauspicious yogas (Vyatipata, Vaidhriti).
- 3 Within the chosen day, use an auspicious muhurta window such as Abhijit Muhurta or Amrit Kaal.
- 4 Confirm the exact time against your family's birth details with a priest.
How this is calculated
Auspicious dates are selected from the panchang by weighing the nakshatra, tithi, weekday and yoga, and excluding inauspicious periods — Bhadra (Vishti karana), Amavasya, Rikta tithis and yogas such as Vyatipata and Vaidhriti — following classical muhurta guidance (Dharmasindhu / Nirnaya Sindhu). A personal muhurta also weighs your family's birth details; confirm with a priest.
