Vahan Muhurat rules used on this page

Where these rules come from: the vehicle-purchase rules that the two largest computed almanacs share — the same nakshatras, tithis and weekdays. Both lists were checked for New Delhi across 2026 and 2027, and every date either prints is on this page.
Weekday: Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday or Sunday (the Vedic weekday, which changes at sunrise). Never Tuesday or Saturday.
Nakshatra: the Moon in one of these 12 — Rohini, Mrigashira, Punarvasu, Pushya, Hasta, Chitra, Swati, Anuradha, Shravana, Dhanishta, Shatabhisha and Revati.
Tithi: Pratipada, Tritiya, Panchami, Shashti, Ashtami, Dashami, Ekadashi, Trayodashi of either fortnight, and Purnima. Never Dwitiya, Chaturthi, Saptami, Navami, Dwadashi, Chaturdashi or Amavasya.
Season: none. Neither computed vehicle list closes Kharmas, Chaturmas or a month, nor applies Guru or Shukra asta; only an adhika month is closed. Adhika Jyeshtha, an adhika month, runs from 17 May 2026 to 15 June 2026.
Rahu Kaal: many families also avoid Rahu Kaal on the day of the purchase or the first drive. The windows here do not cut it out; check the day's Rahu Kaal for your city.
The movable nakshatras: Punarvasu, Swati, Shravana, Dhanishta and Shatabhisha are the chara (movable) stars, the ones most often named for a vehicle; the rest are the fixed, soft and swift stars both lists also allow.
The day: sunrise to the next sunrise, for Singapore. 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 (the Moon's place from the birth sign, the fourth house) and the lagna at the moment of purchase.

Vahan Muhurat 2026 by month

Muhurat for another city

The day runs from sunrise to the next sunrise, and sunrise differs across India by well over an hour — so a window near dawn can belong to a different date in another city, and every clock time moves.

These links recompute the list for the city you pick. They are variants of this page: each carries a canonical back to the address above and asks search engines not to index it.
