What the muhurat is for

and how the day is kept

What counts is the delivery: the moment you take the keys and the vehicle first moves, not the day you book it. Many families do a small puja then, a swastik in roli on the bonnet and a coconut broken before it, and take the first drive to a temple.

What the panchang asks for

Car or bike
Nakshatras
  • Rohini, Mrigashira, Punarvasu, Pushya, Hasta, Chitra, Swati, Anuradha, Shravana, Dhanishta, Shatabhisha, Revati
  • All five movable (chara) nakshatras, which the classical classification gives to vehicles and journeys, with the four gentle (mridu) ones, Hasta and Pushya of the swift (kshipra) ones, and Rohini
Tithis
  • Shukla: Tritiya, Panchami, Shashthi, Ashtami, Dashami, Ekadashi, Trayodashi, Purnima
  • Krishna: Pratipada, Tritiya, Panchami, Shashthi, Ashtami, Dashami, Ekadashi, Trayodashi
Weekdays
  • Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Sunday

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; swift (kshipra), for trade, learning and quick starts; soft (mridu), for gentle things such as friendship and music; movable (chara), for what moves, such as travel. This work takes the fixed ones (Rohini), the swift ones (Pushya, Hasta), the soft ones (Mrigashira, Chitra, Anuradha, Revati) and the movable ones (Punarvasu, Swati, Shravana, Dhanishta, Shatabhisha). 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, Dwitiya, Saptami and Dwadashi, and Krishna Dwitiya, Saptami and Dwadashi, which it does not count among this work’s tithis. Tuesday is Mangal’s day and Saturday is Shani’s day, and Mangal and Shani are krura (harsh) grahas: those days are left out.

All the rules for buying a vehicle: the months it is done in, the closed seasons and the hour
