Gold Buying Muhurat in April 2026

The two festival days named for gold are tithi days, not Pushya days, so they are listed here beside the Pushya dates, with the windows the festival pages print for New Delhi.

• 1–22 April The Moon is in Uttara Phalguni, Hasta, Chitra, Swati, Vishakha, Anuradha, Jyeshtha, Mula, Purva Ashadha, Uttara Ashadha, Shravana, Dhanishta, Shatabhisha, Purva Bhadrapada, Uttara Bhadrapada, Revati, Ashwini, Bharani, Krittika, Rohini, Mrigashira, Ardra and Punarvasu, not Pushya.
• 25–30 April The Moon is in Ashlesha, Magha, Purva Phalguni, Uttara Phalguni, Hasta, Chitra and Swati, not Pushya.

• Where these rules come from: no text gives a sanskara rule for buying gold. The day the almanacs name for it is Pushya nakshatra — the one star held to bless a purchase whatever the weekday or tithi — and above all Guru Pushya, Pushya on a Thursday. This list is every Pushya window of the year; Akshaya Tritiya and Dhanteras, the two festival days named for gold, are listed beside it with their own windows.
• Weekday: any — this rule set does not look at the weekday.
• Nakshatra: the Moon in Pushya.
• Tithi: any — this rule set does not look at the tithi.
• Season: none. Pushya is taken in any month: Kharmas, Chaturmas and Guru or Shukra asta are not rules for a purchase here; only an adhika month is closed, as it is for every purchase on this site. Adhika Jyeshtha, an adhika month, runs from 17 May 2026 to 15 June 2026.
• Guru Pushya and Ravi Pushya: Pushya on a Thursday (Guru Pushya) or a Sunday (Ravi Pushya) is the most sought day for gold, and those rows are marked — 2 Guru Pushya and 6 Ravi Pushya days in 2026. The weekday is the Vedic one, which changes at sunrise, so a Pushya that begins on Wednesday night is a Wednesday row until Thursday's sunrise.
• Akshaya Tritiya and Dhanteras: the two festival days named for gold are tithi days, not Pushya days. Their windows are in their own table — the whole of Tritiya on Akshaya Tritiya, the good choghadiyas while Trayodashi runs on Dhanteras — computed by the festival pages' own engine.
• Pitru Paksha: a Pushya in the shraddha fortnight (26 September 2026 – 10 October 2026) is kept and marked — 2 rows in 2026. Traditions differ: many families buy nothing new in Pitru Paksha, while others hold that Pushya blesses a purchase even then.
• Pushya and a wedding: the star that blesses a purchase is not used for a marriage; the vivah list leaves Pushya out, by a separate rule.
• The day: sunrise to the next sunrise, for New Delhi. A day any closed period touches is left out whole; inside the days that remain, the muhurat is the time when every condition above holds at once, for at least 20 minutes.
• Not checked here: the buyer's own chart and Rahu Kaal on the day. Many families avoid Rahu Kaal for a purchase; the windows here do not cut it out, so check the day's Rahu Kaal for your city.
