Frequently Asked Questions
What is Griha Pravesh Muhurat?
Griha Pravesh Muhurat is the auspicious time selected for entering a new home for the first time. Classical Vedic texts like Muhurta Chintamani prescribe checking Tithi (must be auspicious Shukla Paksha), Nakshatra (Rohini, Pushya, Uttara Phalguni, Hasta are ideal), Vara (Monday, Wednesday, Thursday are best), and Lagna (fixed signs preferred). AstroJanamPatrika checks all factors using Swiss Ephemeris for your specific city and date.
Which months are best for Griha Pravesh in 2026?
From the remaining months of 2026, May–June offer good options before Chaturmas. November is the peak post-Chaturmas month with the most auspicious dates. December is also good until the 15th. July 6 – October 29 is Chaturmas, during which Griha Pravesh is traditionally not performed.
Can Griha Pravesh be done during Chaturmas in 2026?
No — Chaturmas (approximately July 6 – October 29, 2026) is a period when Lord Vishnu is in cosmic sleep (Yoga Nidra). Auspicious events including Griha Pravesh, weddings, and new beginnings are not initiated during this period in most Hindu traditions. The exception is some Shaiva communities. When in doubt, consult your family Jyotishi.
Which Nakshatra is best for Griha Pravesh?
Rohini is the most prized Nakshatra for Griha Pravesh — it symbolises stability, permanence, and the nurturing Moon. Pushya (growth, nourishment), Dhanishtha (material prosperity), and Uttara Phalguni (Aryaman's patronage) are also excellent. Shravana (Vishnu's Nakshatra) is especially auspicious for entering a home that will be a Vaishnava household.
What is the ideal weekday for Griha Pravesh?
Monday (Moon — domestic happiness), Wednesday (Mercury — auspicious beginnings), and Thursday (Jupiter — maximum auspiciousness, Guru's blessing) are the top three days for Griha Pravesh. Tuesday and Saturday are generally avoided. Friday is acceptable for some communities.
