Griha Pravesh Muhurat 2027: All 17 Dates, and Why July to October Is Empty

There are 17 clean griha pravesh days in 2027 for a house at Ujjain, our reference point, and 16 for New Delhi. The first is Friday 15 January, the day after Kharmas ends. Then the calendar thins out: five dates from February to April, three from May to June, and nothing at all from July to October. The list reopens on 12 November and runs to 9 December.

This is the strict list. Every day on it passes the nakshatra check, the tithi, yoga and karana checks, the weekday check, and every closed season. The reasons for the gaps matter as much as the dates, because the gaps are where families get caught.

The 17 dates, month by month

Dates are for sunrise at Ujjain. New Delhi is identical except that 8 December drops out and only 9 December stays.

Dates are computed for sunrise at Ujjain and Delhi. For a city far to the east or west the day can shift, so check your own city on the griha pravesh muhurat finder before you fix anything with a priest or a caterer.

What the strict list actually checks

The rules are the ones in our muhurat engine for griha pravesh. Preferred nakshatras are Rohini, Mrigashira, Pushya, Hasta, Anuradha, Revati and the three Uttaras. Bharani, Krittika, Ashlesha, Magha and Vishakha are avoided. Tithis 2, 3, 5, 7, 10, 11 and 13 are preferred, while the fourth, eighth, ninth, fourteenth and new moon tithis are avoided. Monday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday are preferred weekdays, and Sunday, Tuesday and Saturday are avoided. Shukla paksha is favoured.

That is why every date above falls on a Monday, Wednesday, Thursday or Friday. It is also why a few Krishna paksha days appear: they pass every other test, and the engine treats the paksha as a preference rather than a bar.

Why other lists show 40 to 60 dates

If you have seen a 2027 calendar with 40 or 50 griha pravesh days and wondered what we dropped, the answer is that published lists apply different subsets of the same rules. We ran the subsets for Ujjain and counted them.

• Right nakshatra only: 119 days.
• Plus the closed seasons removed: 59 days.
• Plus the tithi, yoga and karana checks: 26 days.
• Plus the weekday check: 17 days.

A list of 40 to 60 has usually applied the nakshatra and the seasons and stopped there. Neither list is invented. They disagree because they stop at different rungs, and ours stops at the last one. If a priest offers you a date that is not on our list, ask which check it relaxed. Often the answer is the weekday or a yoga, and that is a judgment call a priest is entitled to make for your family.

Why July to October is empty

Three separate closures overlap here, which is why the gap is so clean.

Chaturmas runs from Devshayani Ekadashi on 14 July to Prabodhini Ekadashi on 10 November. The tradition is that Vishnu sleeps through these months, and the formal entry into a new home waits until he wakes. That alone closes 13 July to 9 November.

Shukra asta, when Venus is too close to the Sun to be seen, runs from 4 July to 20 September in our engine. Guru asta, the same for Jupiter, runs from 14 August to 17 September. Our engine's orb is a little wider than some almanacs use, so another calendar may show these windows a few days narrower. It changes no date on the list, because every one of those days already sits inside or beside Chaturmas.

So the first clean day is 12 November, two days after Prabodhini Ekadashi. If your house is ready in August, the ceremony date is not hiding in a longer list somewhere. It is November.

Why March and April are thin

Malmas, also called Meen Kharmas, runs from 15 March to 14 April, while the Sun is in sidereal Pisces. It is treated like Kharmas for griha pravesh. That is why March has three dates, all in the first eleven days, and April has only one, on the 28th.

Kharmas itself, with the Sun in Sagittarius, is the other bookend. It ran until 14 January 2027 and returns on 16 December 2027, which is why the 2027 list ends on 9 December. If you are reading this to plan a December entry, the 8th and 9th are the last clean days before it closes. See the Kharmas guide for what the period restricts and what it leaves open. There is no adhik maas in 2027, so no extra month complicates the count. Weddings pause over largely the same seasons, and the Vivah Muhurat 2027 guide walks through those months.

If your possession date falls in a closed month

This happens constantly. The builder hands over keys in August, or the lease starts in the middle of Malmas, and the family is asked to wait three months.

The common practice, which varies by family and region, runs along these lines. You take possession of the keys and the paperwork and can do the practical work: cleaning, painting, fitting furniture, even a simple Ganesh puja at the door. What waits is the formal griha pravesh, the ceremonial first entry with the kalash and the havan, and living in the house. Many families hold the ceremony on the next clean date and move in then.

Some households, for reasons of school terms or rent, do a smaller entry sooner and the full ceremony later. Whether that is acceptable is for your family priest and elders to say. We are not in a position to override a tradition your family keeps.

The same restraint applies to money. Registration is a different act from entering a home, and its own day logic applies; our note on buying property on a Thursday covers that side.

New house, old house, rented flat

A brand-new home is the case this list is built for. It is a first entry into a space no one has lived in, so the full checks apply.

Re-entering your own old house after a long absence, or after major repairs, is traditionally treated more lightly. Many priests accept a wider range of days for it, but the closed seasons are usually respected all the same.

A rented flat sits in a softer category. Some families do a short puja and a lamp at the threshold and treat the date as a convenience. Others hold a full griha pravesh because the home is where they will live. Both are common, and the dates above are a good guide for either. For the full ritual sequence and what each step is for, the evergreen griha pravesh guide goes through it.

Choosing among the 17

Two people can both pick from the same list and still land on different days, because a clean day for a house is not yet a clean day for you. Your chart has its own dasha and its own transits. A day that passes every general check can still sit awkwardly against your birth nakshatra or a running period.

If you want to narrow the list, generate a chart in the free kundali, then ask the AI astrologer whether a particular date suits your own chart. It can reason from your actual placements instead of the general rules. Bring the two or three dates you are choosing between and ask about those.

For the final word on any date, your family priest and the muhurat for your own city remain the authority. The griha pravesh finder will show the same checks for the city where the house actually stands.

Shorter version: seventeen days, January to June and then November to December, nothing in between, and the reason for every gap written down above. For a winter entry, the late January and February dates are the earliest comfortable window. If you can wait until spring, May has two. And if the keys arrive in the monsoon, plan on November.
