The first entry into a new house, the day the family moves in.
There are 5 shubh days for griha pravesh in December 2026: 3, 4, 12, 19 and 30 December. The strongest is Friday, 4 December 2026, at 64%. 2 of them fall in Kharmas (when the Sun is in Dhanu or Meen), which many North Indian families wait out. 3 more days have a muhurat that falls only at night, and are not counted.
Every day listed already meets the rules below. The % only ranks them against each other: it weighs the day’s tithi, nakshatra, weekday, yoga and karana for this work, and 80% and up is the strongest.
5 shubh days for griha pravesh in December 2026; below, every day of the month, shubh or not, and why.
As most families keep it, a Ganesh puja and a Vastu puja come first; then the family enters with a kalash of water topped with mango leaves, the woman of the house stepping in right foot first. Milk is boiled until it rises over in the new kitchen as the first thing cooked, and many families sleep in the house that night. The entry is what the muhurat times.
The festival days, for this work:
| Check | This day | The rule |
|---|---|---|
| Weekday | Friday | one of Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday |
| Nakshatra | Chitra | one of the 8 nakshatras this is done in |
| Tithi | Krishna Ekadashi | an allowed tithi |
| Best time | 12:11 PM – 2:47 PM | clear of Rahu Kaal (the eighth of the daylight that belongs to Rahu), 10:52 AM – 12:11 PM |
Clock times are for New Delhi; they move with sunrise, by up to about an hour across India. The tithi and the nakshatra are the same everywhere. For your own city, use the griha pravesh muhurat finder.
These are the rules the standard panchangs apply for this work; they go back to the classical muhurat texts, Muhurta Chintamani above all.
Muhurta Chintamani sorts the 27 nakshatras by nature: fixed (dhruva), for what is meant to last; soft (mridu), for gentle things such as friendship and music. This work takes the fixed ones (Rohini, Uttara Phalguni, Uttara Ashadha, Uttara Bhadrapada) and the soft ones (Mrigashira, Chitra, Anuradha, Revati). It leaves out the rikta (“empty”) tithis, Chaturthi, Navami and Chaturdashi, which are kept clear of beginnings, and Amavasya, the dark night. Its table also leaves out Shukla Pratipada, Shashthi, Ashtami and Dwadashi, and Krishna Pratipada, Shashthi, Ashtami and Dwadashi, which it does not count among this work’s tithis. Sunday is Surya’s day and Tuesday is Mangal’s day, and Surya and Mangal are krura (harsh) grahas: those days are left out.
All the rules for griha pravesh: the months it is done in, the closed seasons and the hour
5 days: Thursday, 3 December 2026, Friday, 4 December 2026, Saturday, 12 December 2026, Saturday, 19 December 2026 and Wednesday, 30 December 2026, for New Delhi.
Not by the panchang: Shravana till 9:12 AM, then Dhanishta: neither nakshatra is taken for griha pravesh.
Friday, 4 December 2026, at 64%: Krishna Ekadashi and Chitra nakshatra, best 12:11 PM – 2:47 PM.
Of its 31 days, 14 have no allowed nakshatra and tithi in the same hour, 9 fall on a weekday it is not done on and 3 have their muhurat only at night.
March 2027, with 6 days.
A muhurat read off the panchang is the same for everybody in New Delhi. Read against your own kundli it can move, and for griha pravesh that is usually worth the ten minutes.
