Griha Pravesh Muhurat Dates 2026 — month by month गृह प्रवेश

Every griha pravesh date in 2026 that clears the classical panchang tests — 7 in total, grouped by month. The rules being applied, and the reasoning behind them, are set out on the Griha Pravesh muhurat hub.

Scanned 365 days of 2026 at New Delhi sunrise · 7 clear every classical bar for this occasion.

These are panchang-shortlisted dates, not a personal verdict. Each date below clears the classical tithi, vara, nakshatra, yoga and karana tests for this occasion, computed with a Lahiri sidereal ephemeris at New Delhi sunrise. The lagna rising at the hour you actually choose, your own birth chart (Chandra bala, running dasha, any dosha) and the day’s Rahu Kaal are NOT checked here — that layer only exists once a date is run against a real chart on the muhurat finder or with Soma.

No qualifying date falls in June, July, August, September, October, November, December — those months are closed for this occasion by the bars described above, not by a shortage of candidates.

What 2026 actually looks like for griha pravesh

The 365-day scan of 2026 produces 7 dates for griha pravesh — 4 rated Excellent and 3 rated Good — spread across 5 of the twelve months. The first falls on 28 January 2026 (Shukla Dashami, Krittika) and the last on 18 May 2026 (Shukla Dvitiya, Rohini). 2027 yields the same count — 7 — so the two years are equally open for griha pravesh, though they are not open on the same days: the bars move by a few days each year as the lunar and solar calendars drift against each other.

April is the richest month of 2026 for this act with 3 dates, and January the thinnest open month with 1. 7 months of this year — Jun, Jul, Aug, Sep, Oct, Nov, Dec — carry no qualifying date at all, and the table below names the bar that was doing most of the work in each.

The solar bars for griha pravesh fall in 2026 on 1 January 2026 – 14 January 2026 (Sun in Sagittarius, 14 days), 17 July 2026 – 17 August 2026 (Sun in Cancer, 32 days), 18 August 2026 – 17 September 2026 (Sun in Leo, 31 days), 18 September 2026 – 17 October 2026 (Sun in Virgo, 30 days), 18 October 2026 – 16 November 2026 (Sun in Libra, 30 days), 17 December 2026 – 31 December 2026 (Sun in Sagittarius, 15 days). Those ranges are computed from the Sun's own sidereal ingresses this year, which is why they sit a day or two off where they sat last year rather than on a fixed calendar date.

The longest run of 2026 with no qualifying date in it is 227 days, from 18 May 2026 to 31 December 2026. If your own window falls inside it, the honest answer is that this year has nothing to offer there and the adjacent year is the place to look.

Which stars and weekdays carried 2026's dates

The shortlist above is not spread evenly. These are the actual counts from 2026's own qualifying set — a different set from the adjacent year's, so a star that dominates one year can be almost absent in the next simply because of where the Moon's returns fall against the barred windows.

Stars carrying the most dates: Mrigashira (2×), Rohini (2×), Krittika (1×), Punarvasu (1×), Hasta (1×).

Weekdays: Wednesday (3×), Thursday (2×), Monday (2×).

Tithis: Dashami (2×), Saptami (2×), Tritiya (1×), Trayodashi (1×), Dvitiya (1×).

2 of this act's 8 favoured stars carried at least one date in 2026. Uttara Phalguni, Chitra, Anuradha, Uttara Ashadha, Uttara Bhadrapada and Revati carried none — they came round as usual, but every time they did, another test was already failing.

Why the other 358 days of 2026 did not make the list

Nothing above is a shortage of data: every rejected day was rejected by a named classical test, and in 2026 the single biggest was barred solar month, which alone accounted for 152 days — 41.6% of the year, ahead of wrong fortnight on 110. The tests themselves are set out on the Griha Pravesh hub; the tally below is 2026's alone, because the bars sit on different dates each year.

Where 2026's griha pravesh dates part company with the neighbouring rites

Adjacent rites share most of their classical tests, so their shortlists overlap; the same 365 sunrises were therefore scored a second time against each neighbour's own profile, and every difference below carries that rite's own reason.

Of the 4 rites compared, Signing a Lease's 2026 calendar sits furthest from this one — 55 days on which exactly one of the two is open — and Property Purchase's closest, at 35. If one visit is to carry two of these rites, the shared column is where a day that serves both will be.

Does the direction the house faces change the date?

Not the date, but it can change the hour and the sequence of the rite. Vastu practice ties the entry to the main door's orientation and to which deity is installed first. That is a separate layer from the panchang, handled by whoever performs the puja — this page only settles which days are open.

How these griha pravesh dates were computed

For 2026 specifically that meant scoring 365 sunrises and keeping 7 of them, with barred solar month doing the most work of any single bar — 152 days of 2026. The earliest date it left standing is 28 January 2026 and the latest 18 May 2026. Nothing dropped is left implicit: the reason for each rejection is named in the tally above.

Tithi, nakshatra, yoga and karana are read at sunrise in New Delhi from a Lahiri sidereal ephemeris; the Sun's sidereal sign drives the solar-month exclusions and the Sun–Venus and Sun–Jupiter separations drive the asta (combustion) bars.

The tests are Griha Pravesh's own, listed in full on the Griha Pravesh hub: 8 of the twenty-seven nakshatras carry its star bonus, 7 of the fifteen tithis its tithi bonus, and 4 weekday lords its weekday bonus. Across 2026's 365 sunrises those three were met on 105, 170 and 209 days, and 7 days cleared every bar and still scored 6 or better. Beyond the bars every act on this site carries, griha pravesh additionally rules out Kharmas, or Chaturmas (approximated by the Sun's transit of Cancer–Libra), the waning fortnight outright, Tuesday and Saturday as weekdays and Panchaka, the Moon's last 60 degrees. Where a family practice differs from what is written here, the family practice governs.
