A vehicle is today's chariot — the muhurta puts both the purchase and the first ride in an auspicious hour, so the machine brings comfort, not mishap.
Vehicle nakshatras: Ashwini, Punarvasu, Pushya, Hasta, Chitra, Swati, Anuradha, Shravana and Revati. Wednesday, Thursday and Friday are best; Monday is acceptable.
Never take delivery or turn the first key in Rahu Kaal. Skip the rikta tithis (4th, 9th, 14th), Amavasya and Bhadra. Many families avoid bringing a new vehicle home on Saturday — Saturn rules iron, so traditions differ; follow your family's custom.
Schedule delivery in a good Choghadiya, do the vahan-pujan (swastik, mauli, coconut) and make the first ride — ideally to a temple. Pick a day from the list below and match your city's Choghadiya.

📅 Full-year list with exact times: Vehicle Purchase Muhurat 2026 · Vehicle Purchase Muhurat 2027
Muhurta for booking or delivery?
The main muhurta is for delivery (the vehicle coming home) — booking can be any day.
What about a second-hand vehicle?
Same rules — delivery and pujan in a good nakshatra-Choghadiya, plus a customary purification (Gangajal/dhoop).
Can I buy during Panchak?
Panchak chiefly concerns southward travel and specific rites; there is no hard bar on vehicles, yet many families wait — if in doubt, take the next good day.
