Vehicle purchase muhurat 2026: auspicious dates to buy a car or bike

These are all the days of 2026 that pass those rules, with the start and end time of each muhurat for New Delhi.

By month: January 7, February 4, March 8, April 9, May 4, June 3, July 8, August 9, September 7, October 3, November 5, December 8.
Why is a date I had in mind not listed?
A day is listed only when at least 30 minutes of it pass every rule: a suitable nakshatra, tithi and weekday, outside Rahu Kaal, Yamaganda, Bhadra and the inauspicious yogas. Hours: from sunrise into the evening, with each window opening by the end of the first quarter of the night. No Pitru Paksha. No Adhik maas. A season that touches any part of a day rules out the whole day. Whole periods are also left out by tradition. Days set aside in 2026: Adhik maas: 22 days; Pitru Paksha: 10 days.
Which nakshatras, tithis and weekdays does a vehicle purchase muhurat need?

Weekdays: Sunday, Monday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. Hours: from sunrise into the evening, with each window opening by the end of the first quarter of the night.
Are these muhurat times right for my city?
They are worked out for New Delhi, in India Standard Time. Sunrise, sunset and Rahu Kaal change from city to city, and the Panchang day begins at local sunrise, so in another city the windows shift and a date near the edge can change. The Muhurat finder works them out for any city.
Do I still need a priest to fix the hour?
These dates follow the classical vehicle purchase rules used by the Muhurat finder. Regional customs differ, and a family priest may also look at your own birth star and Moon sign (Tara bala and Chandra bala) before fixing the hour.
