What makes a day auspicious for buying a vehicle. The classical filters (Muhurta Chintamani / Dharmasindhu lineage): the day must carry one of the twelve auspicious nakshatras (Rohini, Mrigashira, Punarvasu, Pushya, Hasta, Chitra, Swati, Anuradha, Shravana, Dhanishtha, Shatabhisha or Revati), must not fall on a Tuesday or Saturday (Mars governs accidents), and must not be Amavasya. Unlike wedding muhurats, Kharmas and Chaturmas do not restrict commercial purchases. Dealers add Rahu Kaal and sub-hour windows on top — confirm the exact hour with your priest.

Methodology and reference
All timings on this page are computed astronomically for the respective local coordinates — solar and lunar sidereal positions, the Lahiri (Chitrapaksha) ayanamsa and sunrise-anchored window divisions — and regression-checked against the Government of India publication Rashtriya Panchang (Positional Astronomy Centre, India Meteorological Department, Kolkata). Data verified against the Positional Astronomy Centre, IMD (Government of India) publications on every site update; the computation method is described on the about page.
Frequently asked questions
- What are the Vehicle Purchase muhurat dates in 2026?
- 166 days in 2026 carry one of the twelve auspicious nakshatras for Delhi, avoiding Tuesdays, Saturdays and Amavasya. Kharmas and Chaturmas do not restrict vehicle purchases.
- Can I take delivery of a car during Rahu Kaal if the date is auspicious?
- No — the date and the hour are judged separately. An auspicious nakshatra makes the day favourable, but the roughly 90-minute Rahu Kaal window of that weekday is still avoided for the actual handover or first drive. Use the general-purpose auspicious hours instead, such as the Abhijit Muhurat shown in the table, and keep the paperwork outside Rahu Kaal.
- Does Kharmas or Chaturmas affect vehicle delivery?
- No. Classical sources state that Kharmas and Chaturmas restrict religious ceremonies (marriage, house-entry) but do not restrict commercial purchases — buying a vehicle is a commercial act, not a samskara. Only the nakshatra, weekday and Amavasya filters apply.
- Why is Tuesday avoided for buying a vehicle?
- Tuesday belongs to Mars (Mangal), who governs accidents and mechanical failure in Muhurta tradition, so classical sources exclude it entirely for vehicle purchase, including test drives.
