Griha Pravesh Muhurat

Kundali matching between owner's birth chart and Panchanga muhurat. Rikta tithis (4th, 9th, 14th) strictly excluded. Fixed nakshatras (Rohini, Uttara Phalguni, Uttara Ashadha, Uttara Bhadrapada) preferred. Jupiter in kendra (1/4/7/10) or trikona (1/5/9) from lagna mandatory. Venus must be visible (not combust) — checked against ephemeris. Family pandit often cross-verifies with a second Jyotishi

Bhadra (Vishti Karana) strictly avoided — considered extremely inauspicious. Shubh Yoga required: Siddha, Amrit, Shubha, or Sarvarthasiddhi. Warkari families prefer Ekadashi-proximate dates. Kalash Sthapana timing calculated separately from entry muhurat. Ashwin and Kartik months particularly avoided in Maharashtrian tradition. Five suvasini blessing at the threshold timed to the exact muhurat

Rasi compatibility between entry lagna and owner's birth Rasi required. Karanam (half-tithi) used for finer timing beyond just tithi. Aadi (Jul-Aug) and Purattasi (Sep-Oct) months entirely excluded. Sthapati co-verifies timing with the Iyer priest. Rahu Kaal calculated per Tamil weekday framework (differs from North Indian). Hora (planetary hour) of Jupiter or Venus required at entry moment

Tarabala (star compatibility) between owner's nakshatra and entry nakshatra. Door-direction-specific timing: east doors have different optima than north doors. Jyeshtha month particularly favored for Griha Pravesh. Surya Siddhanta-based calculations (differ slightly from Drik Ganita). Vishwakarma community artisans consulted on structural readiness before muhurat. Both Telugu solar and lunar months considered in selection

Jain Panchanga omits Rahu/Ketu — different muhurat framework. Door-pada compatibility checked against Vastu Purusha Mandala. Ashada month strictly avoided across both Jain and Hindu Kannadiga traditions. Pancha Parameshti muhurat invocation for Jain households. Both solar (Souramana) and lunar (Chandramana) calendars cross-referenced. Stone inscription of the muhurat date placed at the threshold (Hoysala practice)

Parahita system calculations (distinct from Drik Ganita of Tamil Nadu). Muhurat matched to owner's janma-nakshatra and house-facing direction. Karkidakam month (Ramayana month) strictly excluded. Kollavarsham (Malayalam calendar) is the primary reference. Precision to the minute — lagna must not shift during the entry window. Thachu Shastra's construction-phase calendar adds additional constraints. Kaniyaan astrologer has ultimate authority over the timing

Vikram Samvat (Kartik-starting) calendar is primary reference. Kartik month (post-Diwali) most favored — combines new home with new year. Jain Chaturmas strictly observed — no entry during monsoon retreat. No Rahu/Ketu in Jain muhurat framework — simplifies the calculation. Navkar Mantra recited at the exact entry moment. Muhurat verified by both Jain Jyotishi and family elder

Boishakh and Agrahayan months most preferred. Lakshmi-bar (Thursday) preferred for wealth activation. Panjika marks specific 'Griha Pravesh-yogya' days. First prahar (morning quarter) of the day required. Fish brought into house during entry — prosperity symbol unique to Bengali culture. Alpana drawn at the entrance timed to the muhurat

Tarabala and Chandrabala calculations given high importance. Margashira month most favored in Kalinga tradition. Entry foot (right or left) determined by the day's ruling planet. Kula-Jyotishi (hereditary family astrologer) consulted alongside Panjika. Jagannath temple ritual calendar influences auspicious/inauspicious periods. Red soil from a Shakti Peetha placed at the threshold during entry

Nanakshahi calendar used alongside or instead of Vedic Panchanga. Ardas at the threshold at the precise entry moment. Hukamnama for divine guidance on the move-in. Vaisakh month auspicious — linked to Baisakhi/Khalsa founding. Some families trust hukam (divine will) over calculated muhurat. Sukhmani Sahib paath may be organized at the new home on entry day
