Why are Tuesday and Saturday avoided for Griha Pravesh?

These are the two weekdays almost every classical source advises against for this specific occasion — Tuesday (Mars) and Saturday (Saturn) are associated with more challenging energies for a fresh domestic start.

Why are Amavasya and Purnima excluded?

Both the new moon (Amavasya) and full moon (Purnima) are specifically cited as prohibited Tithis for Griha Pravesh Puja across multiple sources, distinct from the general Rikta-Tithi exclusion.

Does the Hindu month matter for Griha Pravesh?

Yes — Vaishakh, Magh, Jyeshtha, and Phalgun are the months most consistently favored, though this tool doesn't filter by month directly; see the reference table and cross-check with the Hindu Calendar Converter.

Is Rahu Kaal checked for these dates?

No — Rahu Kaal is a specific time window within a day, not a whole-day factor. Check this site's Rahu Kaal Calculator for your chosen date and location separately.

What if no candidates are found in the search window?

Try a later start date — the combined Tithi, Nakshatra, and weekday criteria are intentionally selective, so favorable dates cluster rather than appearing every week.

Does this account for Vaastu compliance of the house itself?

No — this tool only searches for an auspicious date/time; see this site's Vastu Checklist for the home's own directional layout, a separate consideration.

Can I use this for moving into a rented apartment, not just a newly-built home?

Yes — Griha Pravesh timing principles are commonly applied to any first entry into a new home, not only newly-constructed ones.

Should I finalize my move based on this list alone?

No — treat this as a starting shortlist for a conversation with a priest or astrologer, not a final decision.

Finds a candidate shortlist of auspicious Griha Pravesh (housewarming) dates, filtered by Tithi, Nakshatra, and weekday — never a single computed "best" date.

How to use it

Enter a start date to search from (defaults to today).
Read the shortlist of candidate dates found in the next 240 days.
Check each candidate's Tithi and Nakshatra.
Take your shortlist to a priest or astrologer for final confirmation of the exact time.

Formula

Searches forward day-by-day for dates matching all of: a favorable Tithi (2,3,5,10,11,13 in either Paksha; Rikta Tithis and Amavasya/Purnima always excluded), one of 10 classically-favorable Nakshatras (Rohini, Mrigashira, Pushya, Uttara Phalguni, Hasta, Chitra, Swati, Anuradha, Uttara Ashadha, Revati), and a favorable weekday (Monday, Wednesday, or Thursday).

Worked example

A Monday, Wednesday, or Thursday landing on a favorable Tithi and Nakshatra, outside Amavasya/Purnima, is a real candidate — this tool never suggests a Tuesday or Saturday, both classically avoided for this occasion.

Interpreting your result

A real, disclosed simplification: checks Tithi, Nakshatra, and weekday only — the 3 most commonly-cited factors across every source checked. Doesn't check Rahu Kaal (see this site's Rahu Kaal Calculator for your chosen date), personal Chandra Bala, or Vaastu-specific timing considerations, all real factors a professional consultation would weigh.

Recommendations

• This tool doesn't filter by Hindu month — cross-check a candidate date's Hindu month (see this site's Hindu Calendar Converter) against the table above for an extra layer of confirmation.

Frequently asked questions

Because real Muhurat selection always produces a shortlist of viable candidates for a priest or astrologer to refine further with personal factors this tool doesn't have.
