In 2027, New Delhi has 176 days with a gold buying muhurat in the calendar view — the books' main rules for buying gold — and 94 days in the strict view of the books. Neither view checks the lagna. The strict view leaves out 82 of them: the weekday rule closes 73, gurvaditya 15 and the sankranti rule 5 (a day can fall under two rules), and it shortens the windows of 2 days more. The most days fall in January (17), April (16) and July (16); every month has some. Guru-Pushya, Dhanteras and Akshaya Tritiya are customs: the page names them where they fall.

Akshaya Tritiya (Sunday, 9 May 2027) is an abujh day by custom, one that needs no muhurat, and many families buy gold on it at any hour. By the book's rules for buying the day is closed, so it is not on this list.
Dhanteras (Wednesday, 27 October 2027) is on this list: 06:30–07:53 IST.
Diwali (29 Oct) is not on this list: Lakshmi Puja falls on Amavasya, which these lists leave out.
In Pitru Paksha (16 Sep – 29 September 2027) many families avoid new purchases — a custom, not a book rule, and not applied here; this list keeps 6 days in it: 16, 17, 18, 22, 25 and 26 September.
Two views, two lists
The books give main rules and further cautions for buying gold, so this page gives two lists. The calendar view follows the books' main rules for buying gold. The strict view starts from the same windows and also applies no Monday, Tuesday or Saturday, no day when the Sun and Jupiter share a sign (gurvaditya) and 16 ghatis (6 h 24 min) on either side of each sankranti. A strict window always lies inside a calendar window, so the strict list is a shorter version of the same list, never a different one.
Buying gold needs no season in the rules these lists follow: Simhastha Guru, the combustion of Venus and Jupiter, Kharmas and Chaturmas are applied to weddings, a new home and the samskaras, not to a purchase. So here the strict view adds the book's rules for putting on new gold: it closes 82 days the calendar view keeps and shortens the windows of 2 days. Kharmas 2026–27 explains which of those periods are customs for a purchase.
Which list to follow is a family matter. If your family keeps the books strictly, use the strict view; if it keeps their main rules, use the calendar view. Why muhurat dates differ lists the other reasons two calendars disagree.
The almanac this site checks its calendar views against publishes no year list for buying gold, so both views apply the book's rules for buying and for wearing gold directly, and the customs are named as customs. The days themselves are the panchang's: the Guru-Pushya and Ravi-Pushya days come from the Moon's nakshatra and the weekday, and Dhanteras and Akshaya Tritiya from the festival calendar — the same panchang whose festival dates agree day for day with a widely used almanac's from October 2026 to December 2027. A widely read website's 2027 list has 28 days: 26 are in this calendar view, and the other 2 are closed here by rules the book states — a rikta tithi on both, with the star Mrigashira on 9 May and a gandanta on 11 March.
Gold buying dates 2027, month by month
Each date shows its muhurat windows in IST for New Delhi, the nakshatra and tithi in them, and a strength word. A card says when the strict view shortens or closes the day; where it says nothing, both views agree. Choose a view to see one list at a time.
Every listed day passes the rules. "Very good", "Good" and "Usable" are a rough order from classical factors (such as the star, the weekday, the bright half) — not a probability or a promise.
January 2027 17 days
Friday, 1 January
Good
13:11–15:00
16:18–17:35
Nakshatra: Chitra, Swati Tithi: Krishna Dashami
Saturday, 2 January
Good
15:01–17:36
Nakshatra: Swati Tithi: Krishna Ekadashi
Strict view: no muhurat
Saturday — the book bars it for putting on new gold; the strict view leaves it out Muhurta Chintamani, Nakshatra prakarana (putting on new gold)
Monday, 4 January
Usable
07:15–08:32
09:51–11:08
15:02–17:37
Nakshatra: Anuradha Tithi: Krishna Dwadashi
Strict view: no muhurat
Monday — the book bars it for putting on new gold; the strict view leaves it out Muhurta Chintamani, Nakshatra prakarana (putting on new gold)
No season rules out buying gold in these lists: only the day of a sankranti (in the strict view, its hours) and the day of an eclipse close it, as the rules below say. The periods families ask about follow with their dates, for a family that keeps them.
Sankrantis: the Sun's entry into each sign
The strict view avoids 16 ghatis (6 h 24 min) on either side of the moment the Sun enters a sign (B.V. Raman, Muhurtha). The sankrantis of 2027 at New Delhi, in IST:
Makara (Capricorn): the Sun enters at 14 Jan 2027, 21:10; avoided 14 Jan 2027, 14:46 – 15 Jan 2027, 03:34
Kumbha (Aquarius): the Sun enters at 13 Feb 2027, 10:09; avoided 13 Feb 2027, 03:45–16:33
Meena (Pisces): the Sun enters at 15 Mar 2027, 07:00; avoided 15 Mar 2027, 00:36–13:24
Mesha (Aries): the Sun enters at 14 Apr 2027, 15:28; avoided 14 Apr 2027, 09:04–21:52
Vrishabha (Taurus): the Sun enters at 15 May 2027, 12:19; avoided 15 May 2027, 05:55–18:43
Mithuna (Gemini): the Sun enters at 15 Jun 2027, 18:55; avoided 15 Jun 2027, 12:31 – 16 Jun 2027, 01:19
Karka (Cancer): the Sun enters at 17 Jul 2027, 05:48; avoided 16 Jul 2027, 23:24 – 17 Jul 2027, 12:12
Simha (Leo): the Sun enters at 17 Aug 2027, 14:13; avoided 17 Aug 2027, 07:49–20:37
Kanya (Virgo): the Sun enters at 17 Sep 2027, 14:10; avoided 17 Sep 2027, 07:46–20:34
Tula (Libra): the Sun enters at 18 Oct 2027, 02:08; avoided 17 Oct 2027, 19:44 – 18 Oct 2027, 08:32
Vrishchika (Scorpio): the Sun enters at 17 Nov 2027, 01:58; avoided 16 Nov 2027, 19:34 – 17 Nov 2027, 08:22
Dhanu (Sagittarius): the Sun enters at 16 Dec 2027, 16:38; avoided 16 Dec 2027, 10:14–23:02
Neither list rules out buying gold for these periods at New Delhi. The books' lists of acts kept away from Simhastha, combustion and Kharmas do not name a purchase; Chaturmas and Holashtak are not applied to one either. If your family keeps any of them, skip those dates (IST):
Simhastha Guru (Jupiter in Magha or the first pada of Purva Phalguni): 31 Oct 2026, 12:02 – 25 Jan 2027, 01:31; 26 Jun 2027, 05:18 – 15 Sep 2027, 09:56 — this list keeps 49 days in it (the month list names them)
Simhastha Guru (Jupiter in the rest of Simha): 15 Sep 2027, 09:56 – 26 Nov 2027, 18:45 — this list keeps 37 days in it (the month list names them)
Venus combust (Shukra asta): 6 Jul 2027, 20:42 – 17 Sep 2027, 22:48 — this list keeps 33 days in it (the month list names them)
Jupiter combust (Guru asta): 16 Aug 2027, 19:42 – 15 Sep 2027, 03:12 — this list keeps 13 days in it (the month list names them)
Kharmas: 16 Dec 2026, 10:25 – 14 Jan 2027, 21:10; 15 Mar 2027, 07:00 – 14 Apr 2027, 15:28; 16 Dec 2027, 16:38 – 15 Jan 2028, 03:24 — this list keeps 31 days in it (the month list names them)
Chaturmas: 13 Jul 2027, 12:09 – 10 Nov 2027, 09:11 — this list keeps 55 days in it (the month list names them)
Holashtak: 15 Mar 2027, 10:51 – 22 Mar 2027, 16:13 — this list keeps 3 days in it: 17, 18 and 22 March
How these dates are chosen
The Moon's nakshatra: best in the buying stars — Ashwini, Chitra, Swati, Shravana, Shatabhisha and Revati — and also in the stars the book gives for wearing gold that are not selling stars: Rohini, Punarvasu, Pushya, Uttara Phalguni, Hasta, Anuradha, Uttara Ashadha, Dhanishtha and Uttara Bhadrapada. Never in a selling star (Muhurta Chintamani, Nakshatra prakarana; the Dipika, quoted there).
The weekday: any weekday for the purchase (the strict view leaves out the days the book bars for putting on new gold — below).
The tithi: no rikta tithi (Chaturthi, Navami or Chaturdashi of either half) and no Amavasya (Muhurta Chintamani, Nakshatra prakarana, the verse on wearing gold).
The hours: daylight only, from sunrise to sunset. No season: Simhastha, combustion, Kharmas and Chaturmas are not applied to a purchase.
Customs: Guru-Pushya, Dhanteras and Akshaya Tritiya are customs for buying gold; no rule in the books was found for them. These lists rank Pushya on a Thursday or a Sunday higher, and name the festival days where they fall.
The same verse says a married woman should not put on new ornaments in Rohini, the three Uttaras, Punarvasu or Pushya. Those stars are listed here because the verse names them for wearing gold; for jewellery a married woman will wear, prefer the buying stars.
Never on the day of an eclipse (Garga, quoted in Muhurta Chintamani's Samskara prakarana: no auspicious act then, even at its due time). An eclipse counts wherever on Earth it is seen.
No Bhadra (Vishti karana): it is avoided whole. The finer rules of its abode and its tail are not applied, so this list is stricter than calendars that apply them.
The yoga: never Vyatipata or Vaidhriti; of the other inauspicious yogas only the opening ghatis are cut — Vishkambha 5 ghatis, Atiganda 6 ghatis, Shula 7 ghatis, Ganda 6 ghatis, Vyaghata 9 ghatis, Vajra 9 ghatis, Parigha its first half (a ghati is 24 minutes; Muhurta Chintamani, Shubhashubha prakarana).
Gandanta: the last quarter of Ashlesha, Jyeshtha and Revati and the first quarter of Magha, Mula and Ashwini are cut out (Kalaprakasika; Muhurta Chintamani states it in its Vivaha prakarana).
Rahu Kalam, Yamaganda and Gulika — the day's eighths by weekday — are cut out of every window (South Indian practice, Kalaprakasika). Kalaprakasika itself does not count Gulika as inauspicious; these lists cut it anyway, as many calendars do, so they are a little stricter there.
A window keeps at least one ghati (24 minutes) of clean time, and a day shows up to three.
Strength: "Very good", "Good" and "Usable" are a rough order from the star's grade, a favoured weekday (Sunday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday), the bright half and Pushya on a Thursday (Guru-Pushya) or a Sunday (Ravi-Pushya) — a custom — not a probability.
What the strict view adds
No Monday, Tuesday or Saturday: the days the book bars for putting on new gold (Muhurta Chintamani, Nakshatra prakarana, with Shripati).
Gurvaditya — the Sun and Jupiter in one sign: no new gems or ornaments then (Muhurta Chintamani, Shubhashubha prakarana). In 2027 it closes or shortens 15 days of this list: 17, 18, 23, 25, 28 and 29 August; 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 12, 13, 16 and 17 September.
16 ghatis (6 h 24 min) on either side of each sankranti (B.V. Raman, Muhurtha).
Holashtak, Phalguna Shukla Ashtami to Purnima: Muhurta Chintamani (Shubhashubha prakarana, quoting Shighrabodha) keeps it only on the Beas, the Ravi and the Sutlej and at Pushkar; not at New Delhi.
What these lists leave to you
The lagna: these lists do not check the rising sign at the moment of the act.
Your own factors: Tara Bala and Chandra Bala depend on your birth star and Moon sign. They are not checked here.
Who will wear the jewellery is not asked, so the married woman's stars are a note, not a rule.
An eclipse is counted wherever on Earth it is seen (the stricter reading); kshaya and vriddhi tithis, tithi gandanta, the dagdha and visha tithi–weekday pairs and Chandra Bala's vedha are not applied in either view.
Family and local customs beyond the rules named on this page.
For your city or your own dates
A nakshatra or tithi changes at the same moment everywhere, but each place has its own sunrise, sunset and Rahu Kalam, so another city's windows start and end a few minutes apart, and a day near a change can drop out or come in. The muhurat finder computes both views of the gold buying list for your city and your own dates, up to three months at a time, and its results offer the personal check below. Start from a month:
A personal muhurat from the kundli
A list for everyone cannot check your own stars. Muhurta Chintamani's Gochara prakarana adds two personal checks: Tara Bala, the day's nakshatra counted from the birth nakshatra, and Chandra Bala, the Moon's sign counted from the birth Moon sign. A day that is good in general can be weak for one person.
The personal gold buying muhurat reads your saved kundli: each day's Tara Bala and Chandra Bala, a Muhurat Patra (PDF) and reminders. 101 coins for the event: before you pay you see how many days are open before your chart is checked, and if none passes your chart, nothing is charged. Or 50 coins to check one date, charged for its answer, whether the date passes or not.
Or ask the AI astrologer about one date from this list: it reads the day for the place saved in your kundli and names the rule behind its answer.
Sign in, then choose your kundli and the city.

Type the date and the event. Sign in on the next screen and add the birth details once — the question will be waiting in your chat.
How many gold buying muhurat days are there in 2027?
At New Delhi, 176 days in the calendar view and 94 days in the strict view. The most fall in January (17), April (16) and July (16). Every month has some. Each date on this page shows its windows in IST.
Which days in 2027 are Guru-Pushya for buying gold?
Thursdays with the Moon in Pushya: 18 Feb, 18 Mar, 15 Apr, 18 Nov and 16 Dec; this list keeps a window in Pushya on 18 Mar. Ravi-Pushya (a Sunday): 1 Aug, 29 Aug and 26 Sep. Guru-Pushya for gold is a custom: no rule in the books was found for it, and the day's other rules still apply.
Is Dhanteras or Akshaya Tritiya a good day to buy gold?
Buying gold on Dhanteras and Akshaya Tritiya is a widely kept custom; no classical rule for it was found. This page says whether each festival day passes these lists' rules and gives its windows — see "At a glance" above.
Which nakshatras are good for buying gold?
The book's buying stars are best: Ashwini, Chitra, Swati, Shravana, Shatabhisha and Revati. The stars it gives for wearing gold rank next — Rohini, Punarvasu, Pushya, Uttara Phalguni, Hasta, Anuradha, Uttara Ashadha, Dhanishtha and Uttara Bhadrapada — and the selling stars are never used for buying (Muhurta Chintamani, Nakshatra prakarana).
Can I buy gold in Kharmas or Pitru Paksha?
These lists do not close a purchase for Kharmas, Pitru Paksha, Simhastha or a combustion: the books' lists of acts kept away from them do not name a purchase. Avoiding big purchases then is a custom some families keep; the dates are on this page if yours does.
Are these gold buying dates the same for my city?
Mostly, but not to the minute. A nakshatra or tithi changes at the same moment everywhere, while sunrise, sunset and Rahu Kalam are local, so another city's windows start and end a few minutes apart, and a day can drop out or come in where a change falls near a window's edge. The muhurat finder computes both views for your city.
