Vehicle Purchase Muhurat 2026: November and December Dates

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 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.

Buying a vehicle needs no season in the rules these lists follow: Simhastha Guru, the combustion of Venus and Jupiter, Kharmas and Chaturmas are applied to weddings and a new home, not to a purchase. So here the strict view adds only the sankranti hours (and Holashtak in the regions where the book keeps it): it closes 1 day the calendar view keeps and shortens the windows of 1 day.

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 vehicle list also leaves out Shukla Pratipada, both Dwitiyas, both Saptamis and both Dwadashis, never uses Ashwini, and leaves out Pitru Paksha (a custom); among the tithis this list bars only the rikta tithis and Amavasya, and it counts Ashwini among the good stars. That almanac applies Bhadra's abode, offers windows through the night and cuts no nakshatra gandanta; this list avoids Bhadra whole, keeps to the hours of daylight and cuts the gandanta for every act.

Kharmas, Simhastha and the sankranti hours in 2026

No season rules out buying a vehicle in these lists. Only the strict view avoids the sankranti hours below. The other periods follow with their dates, for families who keep them for a purchase too.

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

Neither list rules out buying a vehicle for Simhastha Guru, the combustion of Venus and Jupiter, Kharmas, Chaturmas or Holashtak. Muhurta Chintamani's list of acts kept away from Simhastha and combustion does not name a purchase. Holashtak: Muhurta Chintamani (Shubhashubha prakarana, quoting Shighrabodha) keeps it only on the Beas, the Ravi and the Sutlej and at Pushkar; many families across North India keep it by custom, and these lists do not apply it at New Delhi. If your family avoids purchases in any of them, skip these dates (IST):

• Simhastha Guru (Jupiter in Magha or the first pada of Purva Phalguni): 31 Oct 2026, 12:02 – 25 Jan 2027, 01:31
• Kharmas: 16 Dec 2026, 10:25 – 14 Jan 2027, 21:10
• Chaturmas: 24 Jul 2026, 09:13 – 21 Nov 2026, 06:31

How these dates are chosen

• The 15 days on this page follow the rules of the full Vehicle Purchase Muhurat 2027 list, which sets out each rule with its source: how the 2027 vehicle purchase dates are chosen.
• In November and December 2026 at New Delhi, the windows fall in Hasta (4 days), Pushya (2 days), Shravana (2 days), Ashwini (1 day), Rohini (1 day), Mrigashira (1 day), Punarvasu (1 day), Chitra (1 day), Swati (1 day), Anuradha (1 day), Dhanishtha (1 day) and Shatabhisha (1 day).
• In short, for buying a vehicle: a movable star (Muhurta Chintamani, Nakshatra prakarana) or one of the list's good stars (the soft and swift stars and Rohini), daylight, and no Tuesday or Saturday (a custom); 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 buying a vehicle, the strict view adds 16 ghatis (6 h 24 min) on either side of each sankranti and Holashtak in the regions where Muhurta Chintamani keeps it (the sankranti hours: B.V. Raman, Muhurtha) — each set out on the Vehicle Purchase Muhurat 2027 page.

What these lists leave to you

• For buying a vehicle, 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 Vehicle Purchase 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 vehicle purchase 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.
