A new home is a life milestone — the griha-pravesh muhurta ensures the household's first energy lands in a clean panchang and an auspicious hour.
Best nakshatras: Rohini, Mrigashira, Chitra, Anuradha, Uttara-Phalguni, Uttarashadha, Uttara-Bhadrapada, Revati and Pushya. Among months, Magha, Phalguna, Vaishakha and Jyeshtha are held finest.
No griha-pravesh during Chaturmas (the deities' sleep); Kharmas, Adhika-masa and Bhadra are also barred. Tuesday is usually skipped, as are Amavasya and the rikta tithis. For a newly built house, a Vastu-shanti alongside is ideal.
Enter after sunrise in an auspicious Choghadiya (Amrit/Shubh/Labh) — right foot first, with the kalash. Pick a day from the list below and match your own city's Choghadiya on our Choghadiya page.

Does a rented or old house need a muhurta too?
Yes — tradition advises a good day there as well, though the rules are lighter than for a new own home; a simple puja in a good Choghadiya suffices.
Can griha-pravesh happen at night?
Tradition prefers daylight, especially the forenoon; for special cases, decide only after a lagna check with an astrologer.
Vastu-shanti and pravesh on the same day?
Usually yes — Vastu-shanti/havan first, then the entry; both within one auspicious window is best.
