Griha Pravesh Muhurat 2026: November and December Dates
From 1 November to 31 December 2026, New Delhi has 16 days with a griha pravesh muhurat in the calendar view — the rules as many published calendars apply them — and none in the strict view of the books. Jupiter is in Leo (Simhastha Guru) from 31 Oct 2026, 12:02 to 25 Jan 2027, 01:31 IST, and the books rule out entering a new home while it lasts. The strict view's next day is 10 February 2027.

Computed for New Delhi (28.61° N, 77.21° E) in IST with the Swiss Ephemeris and the Lahiri ayanamsa, for no particular person. Other cities differ by minutes. The calendar view was checked against a published almanac's griha pravesh lists: all of 2026 at Gurgaon, November 2026 to February 2027 at Mumbai, Kolkata and Gurgaon, and all of 2027 at New Delhi. Where the two differ, a named rule explains it (below).
All 16 dates in November and December 2026 at a glance
The calendar view's dates month by month, and what the strict view does with them. The cards below give the times.
November: 11, 14, 20, 21, 25 and 26 (6 days); the strict view keeps none
December: 2, 3, 4, 5, 11, 12, 18, 19, 23 and 30 (10 days); the strict view keeps none
The calendar view ranks 5 days in this range "Very good", here with the star of the best window: Wednesday 11 Nov (Anuradha); Friday 20 Nov (Uttara Bhadrapada); Friday 11 Dec (Uttara Ashadha); Friday 18 Dec (Revati); Wednesday 23 Dec (Mrigashira). Your own stars can still make one of them weak for you (below).
On a Saturday: 14 and 21 November; 5, 12 and 19 December — 5 of the 16 days.
Two views, two lists
Published calendars and the books do not agree on every rule, so this page gives two lists. The calendar view follows the rules as many printed panchangs apply them. The strict view starts from the same windows and also applies Simhastha and Makara Guru (by region), the 7 days on either side of Venus' or Jupiter's combustion, Kharmas, Chaturmas, 16 ghatis (6 h 24 min) on either side of each sankranti and Holashtak in the regions where Muhurta Chintamani keeps it. 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.
The biggest difference is Simhastha Guru, Jupiter in Leo. Jupiter is in Magha or the first pada of Purva Phalguni from 31 Oct 2026, 12:02 to 25 Jan 2027, 01:31 IST, which the books rule out in every region. The Simhastha Guru guide explains the rule, its regions and its sources, and Kharmas 2026–27 covers the two months of the Sun in Dhanu and Meena.
Which list to follow is a family matter. If your family keeps the books strictly, use the strict view; if it goes by the printed panchang, use the calendar view. Why muhurat dates differ lists the other reasons two calendars disagree.
Where this calendar view and the checked almanac differ, a rule explains it. That almanac's new-home list also leaves out Shukla Pratipada, both Shashthis, both Ashtamis, both Dwadashis, Purnima and Krishna Trayodashi, while this list follows Muhurta Chintamani, which bars the rikta tithis and Amavasya. That almanac keeps the Vyatipata and Vaidhriti yogas and cuts no nakshatra gandanta; this list avoids both. It judges a combustion by the planet's visibility and leaves out about three more days on either side of it, so near a combustion the two lists can differ by several days either way; this calendar view uses Surya Siddhanta's orbs without extra days, and the strict view leaves out seven.
Griha pravesh dates in November and December 2026, 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.
November 2026 6 days
Strict view: no muhurat this month — its rules close the 6 days the calendar view keeps: Simhastha Guru (6 days), Chaturmas (3 days).

Closed periods for a griha pravesh in 2026
These stretches rule out entering a new home at New Delhi, computed from the ephemeris to the minute (IST). "Both views" means every list on this page leaves them out; "Strict view" means only the strict list does. A period that began before this range is shown from its real start.
Chaturmas Strict view
24 Jul 2026, 09:13 – 21 Nov 2026, 06:31
The calendar view already leaves out Ashadha, Shravana, Bhadrapada and Ashwin, which are not months for a new home, but keeps Kartika, a middling month. Many families wait for Dev Uthani Ekadashi — a custom — and the strict view does too.
Venus newly risen (balya) Strict view
29 Oct 2026, 09:39 – 5 Nov 2026, 09:39
The 7 days after the planet rises again (balya — Dharma Sindhu's middle view): the strict view only.
Simhastha Guru: Jupiter in Magha or the first pada of Purva Phalguni Strict view
31 Oct 2026, 12:02 – 25 Jan 2027, 01:31
Jupiter in Magha or the first pada of Purva Phalguni: the strict view rules out entering a new home in every region, except while the Sun is in Mesha (Muhurta Chintamani, Shubhashubha prakarana, with Dharma Sindhu).
Kharmas (the Sun in Dhanu) Strict view
16 Dec 2026, 10:25 – 14 Jan 2027, 21:10
With the Sun in Dhanu the month lies in Dakshinayana, and Muhurta Chintamani has a new house entered only in Uttarayana (Samskara and Griha-pravesha prakaranas): the strict view rules it out. The calendar view goes by the lunar month alone, as many published lists do.
The sankranti hours (strict view)
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; Kalaprakasika's 30 ghatis are not applied). The sankrantis of this range at New Delhi, in IST:
Vrishchika (Scorpio): the Sun enters at 16 Nov 2026, 19:43; avoided 16 Nov 2026, 13:19 – 17 Nov 2026, 02:07
Dhanu (Sagittarius): the Sun enters at 16 Dec 2026, 10:25; avoided 16 Dec 2026, 04:01–16:49
How these dates are chosen
The 16 days on this page follow the rules of the full Griha Pravesh Muhurat 2027 list, which sets out each rule with its source: how the 2027 griha pravesh dates are chosen.
In November and December 2026 at New Delhi, the windows fall in Mrigashira (3 days), Uttara Phalguni (3 days), Uttara Ashadha (3 days), Revati (3 days), Chitra (2 days), Rohini (1 day), Anuradha (1 day) and Uttara Bhadrapada (1 day).
In short, for entering a new home: a fixed or soft star and a lunar month for a new house (Muhurta Chintamani, Griha-pravesha prakarana), no Sunday or Tuesday (Narada Samhita), and no adhika month or combustion; no rikta tithi and no Amavasya; no Bhadra; no Vyatipata or Vaidhriti and the opening ghatis of the other bad yogas cut; the gandanta quarters and Rahu Kalam, Yamaganda and Gulika cut out; and at least one ghati (24 minutes) left.
What the strict view adds
For entering a new home, the strict view adds Simhastha and Makara Guru (by region), the 7 days on either side of Venus' or Jupiter's combustion, Kharmas, Chaturmas, 16 ghatis (6 h 24 min) on either side of each sankranti and Holashtak in the regions where Muhurta Chintamani keeps it (the books: Muhurta Chintamani and Dharma Sindhu; the sankranti hours: B.V. Raman, Muhurtha) — each set out on the Griha Pravesh Muhurat 2027 page.
What these lists leave to you
For entering a new home, these lists leave to you the lagna, your own Tara Bala and Chandra Bala, eclipse days and the other finer rules, and your family's customs; the Griha Pravesh Muhurat 2027 page lists them.
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 griha pravesh list for your city and your own dates, up to three months at a time. Start from a month:
A personal check with your own birth star
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 your birth nakshatra, and Chandra Bala, the Moon's sign counted from your birth Moon sign. A day that is good in general can be weak for you.
Ask the AI astrologer about a date from this list. It computes both checks from your kundli, reads the day's windows for the place saved in your kundli and names the rule behind its answer.
Check a date against your own kundli
Type the date and the event. Sign in on the next screen and add your birth details once — the question will be waiting in your chat.
How many griha pravesh muhurat days are there in November and December 2026?
At New Delhi, 16 days in the calendar view and none in the strict view. Each date on this page shows its windows in IST.
Which months are good for a griha pravesh in November and December 2026?
Muhurta Chintamani's Griha-pravesha prakarana wants the lunar month Magha, Phalguna, Vaishakha or Jyeshtha, with Kartika and Margashirsha middling (amanta months). In this range at New Delhi: Kartika (10 Nov – 8 Dec) and Margashirsha (9 Dec – 31 Dec).
Is a griha pravesh allowed during Simhastha Guru 2026?
For a new house, the strict view says no and the calendar view yes: many published calendars do not apply the rule. Jupiter is in Magha or the first pada of Purva Phalguni from 31 Oct 2026, 12:02 to 25 Jan 2027, 01:31 IST, which the books rule out in every region. The strict view's next griha pravesh day is Wednesday, 10 February 2027.
Can we do a griha pravesh in Kharmas or Chaturmas 2026?
In the strict view, no. With the Sun in Dhanu the month lies in Dakshinayana, and Muhurta Chintamani has a new house entered only in Uttarayana (Samskara and Griha-pravesha prakaranas); with the Sun in Meena, avoiding it is a widely kept custom, and so is waiting for Dev Uthani Ekadashi in Chaturmas. The calendar view goes by the lunar month, as many published lists do, so it keeps 4 days in Kharmas and 3 days in Chaturmas that the strict view closes. Kharmas: 16 Dec 2026, 10:25 – 14 Jan 2027, 21:10 (IST).
Do these dates apply to an old or rebuilt house?
These lists are for entering a new house. Moving back into an old house, or into one rebuilt after damage, is different: for it, Muhurta Chintamani's Griha-pravesha prakarana asks for no check of the combustion of Venus or Jupiter, the days around it, Simhastha or Makara Guru — a clean panchang and the stars it names are enough. This page does not apply that relaxation, so for such a house both lists may leave out days the book allows.
Are these griha pravesh 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 strict view also reads some rules by region: the rest of Simhastha, Makara Guru and Holashtak. The muhurat finder computes both views for your city.
